Marshmallow Brownies

Here is my favorite brownie recipe. I tried to copy a brownie from one of our favorite restaurants. Instead I came up with something completely different but delicious! I haven't made them since I stopped eating sugar a couple months ago.

Marshmallow Brownies
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1/2 cup cocoa
3 cups sugar
6 each eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
dash salt
1/2 bag large marshmallows, snipped in half

Mix all ingredients. Spread into a greased cookie sheet, bake for 25-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Don't overcook them. I tend to like these a tad undercooked rather than overcooked. A gooey brownie never hurt anyone. If you don't get it just right the first time than I guess you'll have to make another batch!

Arrange marshmallows halves on warm pan of brownies. Make frosting recipe. Warm in the microwave until runny. Drizzle warm frosting across the top of brownies and marshmallows so they're all pretty and irresistible. Let cool, cut into squares and share. Warm individual servings in the microwave for 15 seconds. Warning: I can't be held responsible if you try to eat the whole pan yourself!

Use your own frosting recipe or try one of these.
