It's not too many times when the extended Rappleye family gets together and these brownies are not a part of dessert! They go very well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or plain and simple all by themselves. I try to tell myself that I don't really like them but when I eat one, I know I am just not telling the truth...four brownies latter! There is just something about the marshmallows mixed with the creamy chocolate frosting and the moist brownie cake...I don't know, I dare you to find out for yourself! ☺
2 c. flour
2 2/3 c. sugar
9 T. cocoa
½ tsp. salt
6 eggs
¾ c. oil
¾ c. milk
1 ½ tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. (10.5oz) miniature marshmallows
Mix first 8 ingredients together until smooth.
Mix well
Pour into a greased and floured 12x17 cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Add flour to pan and turn to cover shortening. Tip pan upside down over sink and tap to remove all the flour that doesn't stick.
Pour brownie batter into pan.
Take out of oven and top with marshmallows.
Try to place the marshmallows in one layer.
Place back in oven for 2-3 more minutes (until marshmallows are melted and puffy.) Remove and cool while making frosting.
After 2-3 minutes take out to frost...
Frosting:
1 cube butter
4 T. cocoa
6 T. evaporated milk
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
Melt butter, add cocoa; stir until lumps are gone.
Add milk, stir well, remove from heat and add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
Add vanilla and a pinch of salt. If the frosting is too thick to spread add more milk a little at a time. It also will thicken up after it cools on the brownies.
with a rubber spatula.
Let it cool completely and cut into serving sizes. It helps to spray your knife with a little cooking spray to keep the marshmallows from sticking.
I'm so glad the picture taking is over because I'm ready for a brownie!! I better send the rest of the pan to work with Kent tomorrow so I'm not tempted to eat more! I hope they enjoy them!

Oh Yum! Rocky Road anything is my favorite. Question for ya... is there a way to make homemade brownies more gooey? Whenever I make homemade brownies they are more cake like. I think I like box brownies (I know... bite my tongue), because they are gooey. Any suggestions to gooey up the homemade type?
Jennie,
A couple of things on getting a gooey brownie.
1. Underbake by 2-3 minutes. Use a toothpick to test the middle and if it comes out with btter..cook a little longer. if it comes out with a few west crumbs, it's good to come out.
2. Betty Crocker Double chocolate mix is one of the best gooey brownies ever! Add some Andy's mint pieces to the top when it comes out and woohoo it's a winner!!
Hope that helps, let me know how it goes!
