Secret Ingredient Brownies

Hey friends!

Sorry for the long hiatus! My computer crashed, so I lost all my photos. :( But now, I'm blogging from my new baby:


Isn't she beautiful!?!

Now, for this delicious recipe! I was recently reading a blog I follow and she had this recipe posted. I thought to myself "That sounds awfully familiar." Sure enough, it was a recipe given to me in my wedding cookbook by one of my mother-in-law's friends. So, of course, I immediately made it! These brownies are delicious and oh-so-gooey! My husband, who is a brownie connoisseur, especially loved them! The secret ingredient - MARSHMALLOWS - leave this gooey, fudgy pocket of chocolate goodness once they cool. Enjoy!

Melt chocolate and butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.


When chocolate and butter have melted, let cool for 15 minutes. Beat in eggs and whisk in sugar until combined.
Add flour and vanilla until well combined.


Fold in mini marshmallows, pecans (optional), and chocolate chips.


Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan and sprinkle with remaining (1/2 cup) chocolate chips.


Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until brownies start to pull away from the edges of the pan.


Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. You can serve warm, or at room temperature. These are great with some vanilla ice cream...YUM!
