Rocky Road Brownies

Brownies:

1 cup butter
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
1 lb marshmallows, cut in half or use mini marshmallows

Melt butter and add chocolate. Remove from heat and add sugar, then one egg at a time, beating after each addition. Add salt, flour, vanilla, and nuts. Mix well.

Bake in a 12x15 greased pan at 350 degrees for 25 minutes (I used a 9x13 pan instead and it worked fine- you may want to cook for slightly longer though since dough isn't as spread out). While still hot, place marshmallows very close together on top. Return to oven for 5 minutes. Do not brown or let crust. Top should be soft. Cool completely and then frost.

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup milk
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt

Melt the butter and chocolate together and then combine all ingredients. Frost brownies. For best results allow to stand for 12 hours.  If you double this recipe, use a 1 inch deep cookie sheet and it will fill the whole thing to the top.
