Instructions:
-
Cream Shortening with Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
-
Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Stir in Vanilla and Nuts: Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spread Batter: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan and spread the batter evenly into it, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the batter in the prepared pan for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Add Marshmallows: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly arrange the halved marshmallows over the top of the baked mixture.

Return to Oven: Turn off the oven and return the pan to the oven for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the marshmallows to soften and slightly melt.
