Followed the recipe to the letter, except for subbing Can't Believe It's Not for the butter. (Kind of like ordering a Diet Coke with fast food. I know.) Like other reviewers, I second just spreading the marshmallows on top -- just to make it look prettier, because I mixed the mallows in the batter and now my brownies look a little, er, stretchy. Also, really only make half the recipe as posted. Which leads to my next point: the poster wasn't kidding about these being rich. You'll really only eat a 1x1 inch piece before feeling like your head might pop from a sugar overdose -- this is not a dessert that goes quickly.

I will never make this again.. Very gummy and cake-like.. Not at all what I was expecting.

I took the advice of another user and halved the sugar since a lot of reviews said they were too sweet. I don't know if that's exactly was went wrong, but these brownies came out bland and hard as bricks! I took them to a potluck and was embarassed to say I had made them. Certainly won't be making these again.

My husband made these and we thought they were AMAZING! We had to put them into the fridge over night, so we could cut them in squares. When we cut them an hour after we made them they weren't hard enough, we ended up eating them with spoons in a bowl. Still very good! The next day they were firm, but still very moist and they tasted great! The sweetness was perfect for us. ANOTHER DAY: So we decided to put the marshmallows on top instead of mixed in. DON'T DO IT!! It didn't work well for us. Mixed in is the way to go.

This recipe was good. Left out the nuts due to allergies. I did omit 1 cup powdered sugar from the frosting. It would've been way to sweet otherwise. Not my favorite brownie recipe, but my father-in-law said that these were the best brownies he has had in a long time and he is the king of sweets here, so he would know. I'll be keeping this recipe just for him.

I made this recipe for the holidays. Very disappointed. I baked longer than the directions called for. Still didn't seem done. Also, the picture shows like a marshmallow center, but that can't happen then the marshmallows are mixed in the batter.

Liked but didn't love. I decided to not mix the marshmallows into the batter, but put them ontop of the baked bottom. That worked out fine and so did the topping but for some reason my bottom did not bake entirely so I was left with mushy uncooked goop. I even baked for 5 minutes longer than needed. Not sure what happened. Maybe someone else has a pointer for me so I can give them another shot.

This is an awesome recipe! I make this for my work. They call it "chocolate crack" LOL It is so sinful. I have changed the recipe slightly but the main thing is I only use Ghiraldelli chocolate and cocoa.

I made these for a bake sale for my niece. They were a big hit. The only problem was that even after spraying my pan with Pam, it still stuck to the pan.
