To make the mousse: Heat marshmallows, chocolate, and milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often until completely smooth. Cool completely.

With an electric mixer, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture.

Spread mousse evenly over cooled brownies. Top with chocolate chips or shavings and raspberries, if desired. Chill brownies in refrigerator for 1 hour before serving, or overnight. Store leftover brownies, covered, in the refrigerator.
