Mississippi Mud Brownies

2 cups sugar 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa

2 tsp. Baking powder

½ tsp. Salt

1 cup butter, melted

4 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 Tbsp. Vanilla extract

1 cup chopped pecans

3 cups miniature marshmallows

Chocolate frosting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Stir in pecans. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle marshmallows over top; return to oven and bake 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven. Carefully spread the chocolate frosting over marshmallows. Cool completely and cut into squares.

Note: For a hint of mocha, stir 1 Tbsp. Instant coffee powder into brownie batter along with dry ingredients.
