Frosted Marshmallow Bars

I first saw these great brownies on BakingBlonde's Weblog. She is a wonderful cook! She hasn't posted in a while, but her recipes are fabulous. I had a lot of compliments on these sweet treats at my jewelry party last weekend. Ok, so mainly the compliments were from my 4 year old, but a compliment is a compliment. They are very sweet and gooey. So if you only kind of like sweets, this may not be for you. They are worth the extra steps to make them, but if you were in a hurry, you could always use a packaged brownie mix instead of making it from scratch. Now, go make some of these gooey marshmallowy (I know that's not a word) treats and endulge!!
