When my boy tasted these–this afternoon, he said, “I’m really mad at you right now.” Apparently, these chocolaty, marshmallowy, crispy things were threatening to mess with his, “I will get in better shape,” mantra. Oops.
My bad.
Here’s what I say. If he’s so dreadfully mad at me then why did he walk out of the kitchen licking the spoon muttering something about…”manna from Heaven?” Hmmm?

When do the marshmallows go in or did I miss something? Do they get melted on top of the bake brownies and how long do you bake the brownies etc?
Those look so good! I am trying to eat less sugar and here you are tempting me again. OH man!
All fixed. Thanks.
