Prep Time10 mins; Cook Time 25 mins; Total Time 35 mins

subheading: For the brownies:

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup oil (vegetable or canola oil)

½ cup butter , softened

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups mini marshmallows

subheading: For the frosting:

½ cup melted butter

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

⅓ cup evaporated milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 to 3 ½ cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13'' 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 to 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 to 3 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely.

Once brownies are cool, make the frosting.

subheading: 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.
