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.
