This is a new brownie recipe that I tried from Southern Living, and I’m loving it! There are three layers of yumminess in these treats, but these brownies are so easy to make. They start with a basic brownie layer, then on top of that a marshmallow and pecan layer, and they are topped off with a creamy chocolate frosting. This recipe takes brownies to a whole new level!
1 (4 ounce) unsweetened chocolate baking bar, chopped
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
3 cups miniature marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread pecans in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Set aside.
Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan by greasing or by spraying with cooking spray. In a large microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Add sugar and eggs, stirring until well blended. Stir in flour. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Sprinkle top of warm brownies with marshmallows and toasted pecans. Prepare Chocolate Frosting. Pour over marshmallows and pecans; spread to edges. Let cool 1 hour on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
Chocolate Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup milk
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, milk, and cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 4 to 5 minutes or until butter melts. Remove from heat and beat in powdered sugar and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
