2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 1/2 cup flour

1/8 teas. salt

1 1/2 cup nuts, chopped  (I like to use pecans)

3/4 bag miniature marshmallows

Melt butter.  Add the cocoa and sugar and mix well.  Add the eggs, mix well.  Add flour, salt, vanilla and nuts.  Spread on a greased (use shortening) cookie sheet.  Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove from oven and immediately spread marshmallows over the top single layer.  Return brownies back to oven and back another 5 minutes or until marshmallows are puffed and melted.  Let cool.  Spread frosting on the top of the cooled brownies.

Putting the Goodness Together:

1 cup butter, room temperature

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

2 2/3 flour

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

4 King-size chocolate bars (or enough chocolate bars to cover a 13x9 inch pan)

1 package minature marshmellows

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  In another bowl, whisk together  the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.  Add to butter mixture and mix until combined.

Grease a 13x9 inch pan.  Divide the dough in half and press half of the dough into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.  Place chocolate bars over the dough in a single layer.  Break chocolate to fit if necessary.  Layer minature marshmellows in a single layer over the chocolate. Spread remaining dough on top of the marshmellows.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned.  Cool completely and cut into bars.
