In the springtime, a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. Well, in the fall, our thoughts turn to Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies. They are simply divine.
Now, I'm no photographic genius, and my kitchen is very dark. Ever been to the bat cave? However, I wanted to give you a pictorial guide. Just don't expect The Pioneer Woman, eh?
Here's a quick user's guide. The ingredients are in blue.
Start by mixing the dry ingredients, one and a half cups flour, two teaspoons of baking powder, and a half teaspoon salt.
Then, measure out two cups of mini-marshmallows and add twelve ounces of semisweet chocolate chips.
Look at that Kitchen Elf working! Melt six ounces of butterscotch chips and a half cup of butter in a heavy sauce pan, over a low heat, stirring constantly.
Keep stirring...
until it's all melted. After the mixture is completely melted, take the pan off of the burner and let the mixture cool until lukewarm.
Then add two-thirds cup brown sugar and one teaspoon vanilla. Mix in two eggs.
After that is well stirred, add the dry ingredients. Are you hungry? I am.
Mmmm...
Add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Give it about five or six stirs. Don't over mix it.
Pour the swirly glob of goodness into a greased nine by thirteen inch pan.
You know you want some! Can't you just taste them? Place the pan in a preheated, 350 degree oven for about twenty minutes. DON'T OVERCOOK. You will be very disappointed if you do...very, very disappointed.
The middle of the brownies should still be jiggly when you take them from the oven. Let them cool completely before cutting OR, scoop the goo out and eat it with a big bowl of vanilla ice cream. Yum.
(Please stop looking at my dirty stove top. I made Gumbo first, and I made a lee-tle mess.)
Okay, that's what works for me. Chocolate, sugar, butterscotch, vanilla, calories, flour, eggs and more calories really, really work for me.
Go and check out other WFMW ideas at Rocks In My Dryer. Maybe someone there has a good weight loss plan.
You make these brownies and you just might need one. Then again, if the kids get to them first...Hey! Where are my Brownies?!?
These look fantastic! And you are a dang good imitation of the Pioneer Woman, which is one of my favorite sites!
YUM!

Shucks! Butterscotch doesn't exist in this country along with Mexican food. But I will save this recipe for the states, looks mighty yummy:)Surprised you have these ingredients where you are.

Wow!
Thanks for the recipe.
I'll try it out on the kids when I can find the ingredients.

That looks like pure heaven for about 5 minutes of savoured eating and then about 20 minutes of pure chaos with hyperactive children. I'm getting the ingredients (and hiding the product...)

Yep, those sure would disappear quickly between DH and DD. DS and I would be lucky to get one whole piece. I like the sound of eating it warm with ice cream. Maybe coffee ice cream instead of vanilla.
