Insanely good. You don't even know there are marshmallows in this. They just give the bars a super moist, chewy texture. Everyone who has tried these has been impressed. I admit, I just used butter, not shorting and the last batch we made had macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips. Crazy delicious.

It doubles in thickness in the oven, but collapses when cool., but the sides stay because they are more baked I guess. Marshmallow shrink to almost nothing so that explains it. I'd try it again but might sub the shortening for margarine for a softer feel. The original is too much like a cookie. Also, maybe sub a 1/4 or 1/2 of the shortening for peanut butter. Maybe fold in some raspberry jam. :) All sorts of things could be done.

I made these for a fundraiser dinner at my school last night. They are DELICIOUSLY YUMMY! I didn't add quite all the white sugar (on purpose) and used butter instead of shortening. After I had mixed up the batter, put in the baking pan and popped in oven, kept thinking something wasn't right...realized I left out the brown sugar!! Pulled them out of the oven after about 2 mins, dumped in a mixing bowl and added the brown sugar. Back in the oven we go and baked about 28 mins. They came out beautifully and tasted great too! Can't wait to make them again for my family and coworkers!!

Holy hanna these were delish !!! I DO NOT like marshmellows so I made them just to prove a point to myself that I COULD eat them in something. Well geeeez, now I will have them in my cupboard ready for baking THIS recipe at all times. I made these a second time & left out the white sugar completely. Couldn't even tell the difference so I will save $ & sugar :) Thanks so much Sara for this great pan of bars.

I was looking for something to use up my extra marshmallows and other ingredients that I had in my pantry so I didn't think this would be all that amazing. However I was really surprised at how good it was. I used white chocolate chips instead of the semi sweet and it was delicious. I would definitely cut back on the sugar because the chocolate and marshmallows make it really sweet. I also agree with the people that say to use butter. I used the shortening but I think that the butter would have sent it over the top.

My Husband and kids absolutely loved these - The only modification I made was omitting the walnuts (allergies) but these were perfect and did not last! Thanks for the recipe!

Made these with butter instead of shortening, and added some peanut butter chips. These were COMPLETELY AMAZING. I'll definitely make them again.

These are very good. I used butter instead of shortening and left out the nuts, but otherwise made them as listed. (We're not huge nut fans around here.) I will say I like the flavor of the "Disappearing Marshmallow Brownies" just a bit better (which are similar to these, only they also have butterscotch chips), but that's just personal preference. These are nicely soft and gooey and quite tasty. This is still definitely a five star recipe, and something I will make again.
