Frosted Marshmallow Brownies

Frosted Marshmallow Brownies 
(Triple Treat Brownies)
Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Newspaper July 5, 2000

Ingredients:
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans(optional)
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Method:
Melt chocolate with butter on low heat; cool.
Beat eggs slightly then stir in sugar, vanilla, chocolate mixture, sifted dry ingredients and pecans.
NOTE: I like to add 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows to the brownie mix and if I want the marshmallows melted on top, then I add the reserved 1/2 cup on top. I find the marshmallows on top makes it sickeningly sweet.
Pour into a greased 7 x 11 x 1-1/2 inch pan.
Bake in a preheated 325(I use 350 degree oven) degree oven for approximately 25 - 30 minutes.
Top with marshmallows and return to oven for 4-5 minutes.
Cool and frost with Mocha Chocolate Frosting.

Method:
Melt chocolate and butter together, blend in coffee, vanilla and salt; stir in sugar gradually, adding enough water to make frosting of spreading consistency. Spread carefully over marshmallows.
