Marshmallow Brownies


I found this brownie recipe on "First Look Then Cook" blog. I follow her blog regularly. I was really excited about making these brownies but I was not totally jazzed about the results. They were ok but I'm more of a fudgy brownie person and these were definitely cakey. And even though I added more marshmallows than the recipe called for, my marshmallow layer was kind of wimpy. They were definitely tasty and moist and sticky & gooey & all that good stuff but I don't think I'd make them again. Or maybe if I do try a marshmallow brownie again, I will use my own fudgy brownie recipe.

I love fudgey brownies too... what's the point of a lightly flavored piece of chocolate cake? That's the thing with baking, you just never know if a recipe is going to turn out.. I'm working on food facts for the Orange County Fair, did you know January 22 is national "Blondie Brownie" day--ohhh blondies, that sounds good.
