Maggie's Decadent Brownies

Pepina Rae's Note:

The ULTIMATE BROWNIE! This recipe is from Paula Deen's show. There's probably nothing more that needs saying here! I'll do it anyway, these are absolutely FABULOUS! After this experience, you will never want to fix brownies any other way!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 35 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 48

Yield: 4.0 dozen

• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour , sifted

FROSTING

• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup butter , softened (2 sticks)
• ½ cup egg substitute (recommended Egg Beaters)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 lb confectioners' sugar , sifted
• 4 cups mini marshmallows

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.
3. Melt the chocolate and butter in a 2-quart bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
4. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla and mix well with a spatula. Add the flour and stir to combine.
5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 25 minutes.
7. FROSTING: While the brownies are baking, make the frosting. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
8. Add the egg substitute, vanilla, and sugar and stir with a spoon until smooth.
9. Working quickly, stir in the marshmallows. They will soften but you do not want them to melt completely.
10. Spread the frosting over the warm brownies. The frosting will set up when the brownies are completely cooled. When cool, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and store in the refrigerator in a plastic container with a snap-on lid.

I also wanted to post tis recipe! These brownies are perfect in every way and so easy to make. I just baked them again and they are cooling now, I will take a picture and post it here later. Today I also added little chopped walnuts, I thing they will make a perfect addition to the chocolate and marshmallows. .

I was just getting ready to post this recipe, but I see you beat me to it. I made this for the first time last night and I have to agree that these brownies are excellent. They are so moist and fudgey. I usually shy away from brownies because most of them are dry, but this is the best I've found.
