"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

1/8 tsp salt
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions:
Directions:
Combine 4 squares chocolate & 1 cup butter in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until chocolate & butter melt. Remove from heat.
Combine 2 cups of sugar, flour & salt. Add to melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs & pecans; stir until blended.
Spoon batter into a lightly greased & floured 13x9x2in pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Meanwhile, combine 2 squares chocolate, milk & 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until melted. Remove from heat. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed with an electric mixer until frosting is smooth. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over warm brownies. Quickly pour frosting over marshmallows, spreading evenly. Let cool & cut into squares.
I recommend making these in advance, even a day, to allow them to set before they get cut. Maybe refrigerate overnight----allow them to sit at room temperature before serving.
I think they’re going to have these brownies up in Heaven

Personal Notes:
This recipe was in the last Tortolita Ward recipe book, but the temperature was incorrectly entered as 250 degrees instead of 350. Because these are so good, it bears repeating
