These are my favorite brownies of all time! I remember Mom making them so much growing up, but they were always to give to people in the ward or neighborhood so we would hardly get to eat them! I make them quite a bit because they are easy and it makes a TON so they are share with neighbors or take to a potluck party!
1 c. margarine
2 c. sugar
1/3 c. cocoa
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
Soften margarine and blend in 2 cups sugar and cocoa. Beat together and add 4 eggs, one at a time. Add flour, salt and vanilla.
Spread on large (10x15x1 inch) greased cookie sheet. Bake 25 minutes at 350. Remove from oven and cover entire top with 1 package of miniature marshmallows. Return to oven for 3 minutes, until soft and puffy. Cool and frost with chocolate frosting.
Chocolate Frosting:
1 stick margarine (1/2 c.), softened
1/4 cup milk
1-2 tsp vanilla (depending on your taste)
3 tablespoons of cocoa
2-3 cups of powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1-2 tsp vanilla (depending on your taste)
3 tablespoons of cocoa
2-3 cups of powdered sugar
Mix all ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth. Add more powdered sugar or milk until you reach desired consistency and spread on top of bars.
These are hands-down my favorite brownies of all time!!!!

wow so simple yet looks so goood! I am going to make it a point to try this soon.
My brownies are similar but with a LOT more butter and instead of frosting over the marshmallows, FUDGE. Actually, I’m eating one now…
Would you share this recipe?
What chocolate frosting do you use? I have one, but don’t love it.
I’ve had these before! They were so good, and I don’t have the recipe so thank you!!!
Hey Cami!
I added the recipe my mom always uses for her chocolate frosting to the bottom of the post. She has never written down the recipe so after a little trial and error, we came up with that! I hope it works!
What does “1 cube margarine” mean for the frosting? 1 stick? 1 tablespoon?
Hey Amy!
It means one stick or a 1/2 c. Sorry about that! Thanks
Your recipes just look awesome. I’m overwhelmed with so many choices but I gotta start somewhere! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
My mom also made these while I was growing up. One of my fav recipes! This is also a fav for potlucks…as you said, it makes a ton and they’re always a hit!
Have you ever used butter instead of margarine?
Yes, works great!!
Made them and loved them! Thanks!
How much is a cereal spoonful. A teaspoon? A tablespoon?
Sorry! A tablespoon would be best!
How much would a cereal spoonful be?
Sorry about that. I would go with a tablespoon!
Has anyone used marshmallow creme instead of mini marshmallows? How did that work out?
these are just like I make only with my family they have to have chopped pecans in them, and lots of them. This is one of the best Blogs I have visited, so much great information.
ok, I just made these and they over flowed all over the bottom of my oven and that part burned and caused a huge mess – did this happen to anyone else??? The whole house was filled with smoke!
Sounds like your pan was too small. Did you use a cookie sheet?
I am not a baker…. Made these and they were devoured!!! Although they did not look as pretty as yours, the taste is what counts right?!
Do you need to refrigerate leftovers because of the milk in the frosting?
We usually just stick Saran wrap on them and stick them on the counter. I have never refrigerated them after I’ve made them
thanks for your question!
Ummm…what kind of flour? SF or AP?
