For the Brownies:
• 1/3 C unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 C oil (vegetable or canola oil)
• 1/2 C butter, softened
• 2 C granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 C mini marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, pour oil over cocoa powder and mix. Add softened butter and mix until smooth. Add sugar and mix for 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla and mix. Add flour and salt and stir to combine. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove brownies from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly on top. Return to the oven for 2to 3 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely. Once brownies are cool, make the frosting.

• 1/3 C unsweetened cocoa powder

For the frosting: Add melted butter, cocoa powdered, evaporated milk, vanilla, and 2 C powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and beat with electric beaters until smooth. Add more powdered sugar, a cup at a time, mixing well, until you reach your desired frosting consistency. Spread frosting over the cooled brownies and cut into squares.
