Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
   
   
2. Place the 1 cup softened butter, melted chocolate, eggs, white sugar, 2 teaspoons of the vanilla, and flour in a large bowl and stir until smooth. Fold in the pecans. Evenly spread into the prepared baking dish and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges pull away from the pan. Place on a wire cooling rack and immediately top with the marshmallows, pressing into the brownies. Cool completely.
