HEAVENLY HASH BROWNIES

A sugar high for sure........fudge brownies, marshmallows and more chocolate icing.  Makes my heart happy.  I had to pack these up fast and sent to Dick's work. To my suprise this is the brownie's that I have always made from Auntie M.  I had made this years ago and my friend Sylva liked them. I can't have this stuff around.  A good recipe for just plain brownies or to make this recipe. Hope they make you happy also.  Just plan to make when a lot of folks will be around to help you eat them.     Happy baking my friends.

4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 (6 1/4) ounce bags of miniature marshmallows

Combine the eggs in a medium size bowl and beat well with electric mixer. Add sugar, flour and vanilla. Melt the butter in microwave and add to the bowl along with the cocoa. Mix and beat well. Stir in the chopped nuts. Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and flour or spray with Pam and coat with flour. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Prepare the icing while the brownies are baking. As soon as the brownies are done remove from the oven and sprinkle the top with a single layer of the miniature marshmallows. Put back in the oven for 2-3 minutes. Just long enough for the marshmallows to melt slightly. Watch closely, so they don't burn. Having the icing ready and as soon as you remove the pan from the oven pour the icing on top of the marshmallows and using a off set spatula spread the icing around. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting. To make cutting easier dip the knife in hot water.

Chocolate Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/3 to 1/2 cup of milk (start with the 1/3 then add as needed)
3 Tbsp of cocoa
1 pound of confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all the above in a medium size bowl.
