Recipe Introduction

The result of Jo McGruder's memory of a special candy sold at Famous Barr in St. Louis....most department stores had in-house confectionaries, run by professional candy makers. Many of them were immigrants from Europe after World War II. Heavenly Hash was chocolate, pecans, vanilla and marshmallows, sold by the lb...the following is Jo's creation...

19.8 oz. brownie mix
1 cup chopped pecans
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup pecans, coarsely broken
2 [1 oz] squares unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup[1 stick] butter
16 oz powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon real vanilla, NOT imitation

This one first place in the dessert category in a local contest of favorite recipes prepared in a 9x13 pan...

If you haven't treated yourself to a bottle of Real vanilla , instead of the imitation, put it on the shopping list for next time...yes ,it will cost you a few dollars...yes..there is no comparison..no, I don't use it in everything...but some recipes are just so special to deserve the very best!!
