   Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

   Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

6. 6

   Bake for 25 minutes.

   FROSTING: While the brownies are baking, make the frosting. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.

8. 8

   Add the egg substitute, vanilla, and sugar and stir with a spoon until smooth.

   Working quickly, stir in the marshmallows. They will soften but you do not want them to melt completely.
