ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
¹⁄₂ cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, melted
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup chopped pecans, divided

¹⁄₃ cup cocoa
¹⁄₃ cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar, sifted

directions

Make the frosting: Beat all ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until dry ingredients are moistened. Beat at high speed until mixture reaches spreading consistency.
Make the Brownies: Combine first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add butter and eggs, stirring until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans. Pour mixture into a greased and floured 13- x 9-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle marshmallows over top; return to oven, and bake 1-2 minutes. Remove from oven, and spread marshmallows evenly on top. Let stand 5 minutes.
Spread Chocolate Frosting evenly over marshmallows, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Cool completely, and cut into squares.
Note: If marshmallows do not spread easily after 2 minute in oven, do not bake longer. Let stand 1 to 2 minute to soften.
