Marshmallow Fudge Bars - Mary Mae N.

Once again I forgot to take a photo.  I took them to Pack meeting and they were almost gone and then the locusts at my house finished them off.  That said, they were not amazing.  In the future I would use my favorite brownie recipe and then add the marshmallows and frosting.  The brownie portion was dry and kind of flavorless and way too many pecans, and that is saying a lot coming from me.  There copes.so says to freeze the bars before frosting, but we just frosted them once they were cool and it worked fine.
