- For frosting: to make it thick and creamy do not melt the butter; for a thin frosting, melt the butter, you can then pour the frosting instead of spreading it on top of the brownies and chill till the frosting sets up.

- Add milk and vanilla and beat till smooth.

Bev...I was not going to rate this until I made them again with a slight alteration BUT they are so good that I made them again this morning....Here is what I did...The brownie part and the frosting is out of this galaxy, BUT I had trouble with the marshmellows,,what melted was ok but they tended to get to brown on the top and thenwhen you bit into the bar you get a strange crunch and a stringy affect, SO on my second batch I used a 7oz jar of marshmellow creme, slightly softened in the micro and just poured and spread over the top then back to the oven for 5 more minutes. This gave the whole thing a more creamy texture and everyone likes it this way better. Great recipe even without the filling, but cant wait to try with a mint or cherry or berry filling...TY for a wonderful brownie! BTW I only used 1/2 the frosting also as it makes a ton...the reason why I made a second batch to use up the frosting!
