Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease a 13 by 9 inch baking pan.
- Melt 4 oz (4 squares) unsweetened chocolate and 2 sticks butter in a 2-quart bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the eggs, 2 cups sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well with a spatula. Add the flour and stir to combine. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the brownies are baking, make the frosting. Melt 4 oz (4 squares) unsweetened chocolate and 2 sticks softened butter in a medium bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Add 1/2 cup egg substitute, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 (1 lb) box sifted confectioner's sugar and stir with a spoon until smooth. Stir in the marshmallows; they will soften but not melt completely. Spread the frosting over the warm brownies. The frosting will set up when the brownies are completely cooled. When cool, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and store in the refrigerator in a plastic container with a snap-on lid.
JEANINE'S DECADENT BROWNIES
This brownie recipe is from my mom. I have made many batches of these brownies for my daughter's various school functions, etc. It's also really good hot out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This is the most important ingredient in brownies, so don't skimp. Use a chocolate that you love the taste of, and make sure it's at least 70% cacao.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that they bake evenly.
- Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
