Sister Stanworth's Rocky Road Brownies

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups plain flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or peacans)
• 200 g bag miniature marshmallows
• chocolate icing
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 3 tablespoons cocoa
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1-2 tablespoon milk

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar, scrape down the sides of the bowl to get all the mixture the same.

2. 2

   Add the eggsand beat.

3. 3

   Mix in the nuts, flour, salt, vanilla and cocoa.

4. 4

   Note that the mixture will be stiff - that is right!

5. 5

   Grease a 9x13 inch (lamington tin) tray and spread the mix. It will be hard to move as it is so thick. A wet metal spoon should help.

6. 6

   Bake at 300oF (160oC) for 30 - 35 minutes.

7. 7

   Scatter the marshmellows on the top and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes They should "find each other" and turn into a bumpy layer.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and immediately ice.

9. 9

   Rest until cold (about 4 hours).

10. 10

    Slice when cold.

11. 11

    Icing - sift sugar and cocoa together into a medium sized bowl, pour melted butter and mix, add milk and stir again. It should be runnier than a "regular" icing as it is going over a hot brownie and will set when cold.
