Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch pan and set aside.

Step 2

Combine 4 squares of chocolate and 1 cup butter in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until chocolate and butter melt. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups sugar, flour, and salt. Add to the melted chocolate mixture. Add the eggs and pecans, stir until blended.

Step 4

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Step 5

While the brownies are baking, combine the 2 squares of chocolate, milk and 1/2 cup butter in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until chocolate and butter melt. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium bowl.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed of an electric mixer until frosting is smooth.

Step 7

When the brownies come out of the oven, sprinkle marshmallows evenly over the warm brownies. Quickly pour frosting over the marshmallows, spreading evenly.

Let cool and cut into bars. Makes two dozen brownies.

These brownies are decadent with the toppings. The basic brownie on its own is also rich and moist. This is a versatile recipe that can be made either way.
