Chewy Brownie Recipe
I contemplated what to call this vintage chewy brownie recipe. The original recipe, which was actually an old family recipe given to me by my cousin, labeled them simply as, "Brownies". I thought about naming them S'more Brownies, because they are smothered with marshmallows, but decided to go with chewy brownies instead, since they contain nuts. At this point of my life, I have yet to consume a S'more that contained nuts. I included the original recipe and instructions as the main information on the recipe card, but scroll down to see my baking instructions, notes, and frosting recipe.

My directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar.
Add cocoa and mix.
Add eggs, one at a time.
Add flour, salt, and nuts to first mixture.
Add vanilla.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Sprinkle 1/2 of an 10 ounce bag of mini marshmallows over the top.
Return to oven for 4 minutes.
Drizzle chocolate icing over the top.
Refrigerate overnight.
Slice, store air-tight in the fridge. Chocolate Icing Drizzle:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 plus 1 Tbsp milk Combine together and drizzle over the top. Notes:
I’m thinking the original recipe was baked in a 15 inch jelly roll pan. I used a 9×13 baking dish and altered the time to 45 for baking.
I used self-rising flour instead of bread flour and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts instead of 1 cup of pecans.
