Marshmallow Brownies

This delicious recipe comes from my sister Patty's cookbook.  Everything I make from that book is delicious!

Marshmallow Brownies

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cup flour

2/3 cup cocoa

1 1/2 cups chopped nuts, optional

1/2 tsp. salt

1 pkg. miniature marshmallows

Chocolate buttercream frosting

Mix together the butter and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.  Add flour salt, cocoa, and nuts.  Beat well and put in a 9x13 pan. (I like to spray it, then line with parchment.)  Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.  Just before they are done, remove them from the oven and put the marshmallows over the top.  Return to the oven and bake until the marshmallows are melted.  When cool, frost with chocolate frosting.  Easy and absolutely delicious.  This is one of my favorite treats to share with neighbors.

Put the powdered sugar in a bowl.  Whisk in the cocoa powder.  Pour in the butter, milk, and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
