Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

Frosting:

4 ounces (4 squares) unsweetened chocolate
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup pasteurized egg substitute (recommended: Egg Beaters)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (1-pound) box confectioners' sugar, sifted
4 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a 2-quart bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla and mix well with a spatula. Add the flour and stir to combine. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes.

While the brownies are baking, make the frosting. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the egg substitute, vanilla, and sugar and stir with a spoon until smooth. Stir in the marshmallows; they will soften but not melt completely. Spread the frosting over the warm brownies. The frosting will set up when the brownies are completely cooled. When cool, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and store in the refrigerator in a plastic container with a snap-on lid.

Very Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these for my fiance and I. Never had homemade brownies, but these were good. I modify recipes, and boy, did it help.... Instead of using 4 oz chocolate, I used 6. And I added 1/3 cup of milk. Wow. Although they are great, they are a bit too sweet for me. Anything from Paula Deen will be cooked in my kitchen. Read more

More like fudge
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

To me, and to all my guests who tried these all agree its more like fudge than brownies, but heck have you ever made fudge?... This recipe is a lot easier than a traditional fudge recipe FYI. I love it I've made it twice and about to make it a 3rd time to give out to coworkers and neighbors for the holidays! I make sure to use really good chocolate to get the best out of the recipe. I think I am also going to try to add in some walnuts to the brownie batter to make a liitle rocky road fudge action...see how that works out for me, I'll keep ya posted!Read more

Great Recipe for Cake...NOT Brownies
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

OK, so I wanted a recipe for gooey chocolate brownies and since this was Paul Deen then I thought surely this would be good. ... In my experience, a brownie should be more than moist....it should be gooey. These had the consistency of cake so while the flavor was really good (especially after I added some extra vanilla and Chipotle powder for some kick) I was very disappointed with this recipe.Read more

GOD AWFUL
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was so excited to make these brownies. This is not a brownie recipe it is a fudge recipe and a bad one at that. We threw... the whole thing away what a waste of good chocolate, butter and time. Sorry guys but this one is not for me. At first I thought that I made a mistake but then I read the reviews and found out NO I did not.Read more

My #1 favorite dessert!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have tried dozens of Paula's recipes and none of them ever let me down. But this one takes the cake -- or the brownie, in... this case. It is absolutely to die for. So rich and moist and easy. I am a huge chocoholic, and these brownies are my go-to dessert when I'm craving something over the top! YUM!!!!Read more
