Marshmallow Brownies

Submitted by DDW

"These brownies are the all time favorite at our house and everyone else loves them too. The recipe originally came from a '97 TOH but I have made it so many times for so many people that it's known as "my" recipe, wish I had made it up! My only suggestion is don't let them over cook."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 24-36 bars

ingredients

• 1 cup butterscotch chips (6oz)
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 2⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips (12oz)
• 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts (we never use) (optional)

directions

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butterscotch chips and butter.
2. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar and vanilla.
4. Add butterscotch mixture and mix well.
5. Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
6. Add to batter and mix well.
7. Stir in marshmallows, chocolate chips and nuts.
8. Spread into a greased 13X9 baking pan.
9. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until brownies test done.
10. I watch for the sides to pull away from pan and it is"set" when the pan is jiggled back and forth.
11. The toothpick test works but not as well as the other because of the marshmallows.
12. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

wow, were these good & sweet. A very different take on brownies, didn't think you could make brownies without unsweetened cocoa powder!

Couldn't believe how good these were. The only problem I had was they stuck the plate I put them on after baking, but once I got them loose everyone loved them.

what a fantasticaly easy way of making scutterbotch brownies. they were really very moist and delicious, the only thing i did not like was the milk chocolate, the next time i will make them with the miniature semi sweet chips instead. i did not put nuts in mine either.

I LOVE these!! What a great combination of flavors! I baked mine in a 8x11 pan so they took a little longer to bake. I didn't use the nuts but did everything else as the recipe says. These delicious treats will be made often!!!

I love your brownies...especially the marshmallows. I did use mini semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the milk chocolates. The brownies looked and smelled so good, I couldn't (and I didn't) wait for them to cool off! It was delicious - sweet but not supersweet; and chewy with great flavor ... perfection ;) I will definitely be making these again! THANK YOU! ...15Feb07 update: Took some to work today...they loved it -- Even the person who told me to stop trying to bake said they were great :) thanks!
