Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

For the Brownies

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows

For the Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13" pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, pour oil over cocoa powder and mix.
  • Add softened butter and mix until smooth. Add sugar and mix for 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla and mix.
  • Add flour and salt and stir to combine.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove brownies from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly on top. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely.
  • Once brownies are cool, make the frosting. For the frosting: Add melted butter, cocoa powdered, evaporated milk, vanilla, and 2 cups of powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and beat with electric beaters until smooth.
  • Add more powdered sugar, a cup at a time, mixing well, until you reach your desired frosting consistency. I usually use about 3 ¼ cups powdered sugar.
  • Spread frosting over the cooled brownies and cut into squares. I've found a plastic knife works best to cut them, or if you make them 1 day in advance they are much easier to cut.
