Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Place the 1/2 cup of butter in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the butter is fully melted. 🍯
- Mix Sugar and Eggs: Stir in the 2 cups of sugar and 3/4 cup of cocoa, then add the 2 eggs, mixing until well combined. Set this mixture aside. 🍫
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and the cocoa. Mix well. 🍚
- Blend Mixtures: Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the sugar and egg mixture. Stir until fully blended. 🍥
- Add Flavor and Nuts: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. Mix until evenly distributed. 🌰
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spread the batter into a glass 8-inch square dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. 🥄
- Shield the Corners: Shield the corners of the dish with small triangles of aluminum foil, keeping the foil smooth and close to the dish to prevent the corners from overcooking. 📏
- Microwave on Medium: Place the dish atop an inverted microwave-safe cereal bowl to elevate it. Microwave on medium power for 6-7 minutes, turning the dish halfway through cooking. 🍽️
- Finish Cooking: Remove the foil shields and microwave on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the top is almost dry. 🌟
- Cool and Add Marshmallows: Remove the dish from the microwave and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows over the brownies. Cover with aluminum foil and let it stand for 2 minutes. ⏲️
- Prepare the Frosting: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup of butter, 3 tablespoons of margarine, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until the butter is melted. 🍯
- Mix the Frosting: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed until the frosting is smooth. 🍧
- Spread the Frosting: Remove the foil from the brownies and spread the frosting evenly over the marshmallows. 🍥
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. 🍰
