- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 14
- Yields:
-
16-20 slices
ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1⁄2 cups plain flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄3 cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or peacans)
- 200 g bag miniature marshmallows
- chocolate icing
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1⁄3 cup melted butter
- 1 -2 tablespoon milk
directions
- In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar, scrape down the sides of the bowl to get all the mixture the same.
- Add the eggsand beat.
- Mix in the nuts, flour, salt, vanilla and cocoa.
- Note that the mixture will be stiff - that is right!
- Grease a 9x13 inch (lamington tin) tray and spread the mix. It will be hard to move as it is so thick. A wet metal spoon should help.
- Bake at 300oF (160oC) for 30 - 35 minutes.
- Scatter the marshmellows on the top and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes They should "find each other" and turn into a bumpy layer.
- Remove from the oven and immediately ice.
- Rest until cold (about 4 hours).
- Slice when cold.
- Icing - sift sugar and cocoa together into a medium sized bowl, pour melted butter and mix, add milk and stir again. It should be runnier than a "regular" icing as it is going over a hot brownie and will set when cold.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt=/ /> <br /><br />As a toddler, my nic-name was Pompom (my Poppy had a golf hat with a pompom and it was one of my first words, and it stuck as my nic name). My Poppy has long since passed, but I fondly remember him every time I log on. I'm a stay at home mum of four aged: 10, 8, 7 and almost 6. I have a severe egg allergy and am lactose intolerant, I enjoy working out ways to still enjoy food minus eggs and milk. I have been married for 14 years and have one very happy and well fed hubby.<br />My goal is to try one new recipe a week, for the past 8 years have achieved this. I own over 300 cookbooks, but no longer purchase them - but regularly print out recipes to try later.<br />When I am not cooking, I am busy household of 6 and going to the gym (to work off the wonderful calories I consumed the day before) and helping at school and church.<br />My philosophy in life is: as we have to eat, we may as well eat well.</p>
