1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, plus more for pie plate
2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup pecans, chopped
Marshmallow Cream Frosting, recipe follows
Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving

Marshmallow Cream Frosting:
7 ounces marshmallow cream
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a circular pie plate.

Melt chocolate and butter in an iron skillet over medium heat; stir to prevent scorching. Remove from heat when melted. Whisk in sugar, vanilla, flour, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together and add a little hot brownie mixture. This will temper the eggs and not cook them, when they go into the skillet. Pour eggs into skillet along with the pecans. Mix well. Pour into prepared pie plate. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Let cool and frost. Cut into squares, top with whipped cream or ice cream and serve.

Marshmallow Cream Frosting:
Beat all the ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.

I made this last night. The frosting was amazing !! The brownies, not so much.... They were really chewy... Not like brownies at all. Could I have added more flour, or....... Why would they have turned out that way? Thank you !!

I was watching the show that the recipe was on and I thought that she said that she needed 30 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, but than my grandmother told me that it really was 3 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar.

I watched the show this recipe was on recently and printed this out to make for our Memorial Day Family dinner. I followed the recipe exactly and it was horrible. My daughters are brownie lovers and the looks on their faces when they tasted these was priceless. Paula loved this on her show, I was sure it would be fabulous. I am sorry to say it wasn't!
