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.

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

Best Brownies Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Needs a whole pound of butter! Paula does not mess around. Let them sit overnight (if able) easier to cut the next day, I... just left mine on the kitchen counter. I used semi-sweet chocolate for the frosting and it worked out fine. I am going to make them again and give them as gifts, they are that good.Read more

Very moist- Very good- would make these again
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought these were really good- however, I would probably do a few things differently next time: 1) I will microwave the... sugar with the chocolate and butter so that it dissolves and isn't as grainy. Just make sure to let it cool a little bit before putting the eggs in! 2) I did not sift the flour and powdered sugar- big mistake- make sure you do this (although the brownies were still excellent despite my laziness)- I ended up with flour and powdered sugar chunks. 3) Make sure you have a lot time to let them sit out before putting them in the fridge- my husband and I only let them cool for about 1 hr 15 minutes and the frosting was not even close to being set (although we still cut them and they were good, just runny). Then I had to put it in the fridge because it was 11pm and I was afraid to leave them out all night with the egg subsitute in the frosting. Now they look a bit messy, but still good. Read more
