FREDA's Notes:

OOOH GOOEY-GOOD STUFF. YOU LOVE Chocolate,U-R Gonna Love These. you love Brownies you'll love these. "IRRESTABLE"!
They don't last anytime at all.
You can sprinkle with chopped nuts on top for presentation and Our Lovers of Nuts.
We all have Imaginations,
Use Yours, add your Own topping ideas, over the frosting, Coconut, Nuts, Chocolate Sprinkles, mini choc chips, mini m&m's. etc.

I have used the Hershey's Cocoa Pdr in these if I don't have the bar type Chocolate. But the Bar is Much richer taste.

Note; these are Not Difficult to Make. I had to Edit due to so many Questions. So Hope this all helps and is self Explanitory.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

So sweet... so chocolaty... Yum! The melted marshmallow is a terrific touch - one that really turns this into a memorable dessert.

Cindy, when I used the "Hersheys cocoa Powder", I never measured. Sorry, its by gosh and by golly.You spoon it in by the spoon and stir and taste, If its Chocolatey enough to your taste buds your good to go. It takes a good maybe 2-4 spoons full, as I recall. Been a while since I haven't had a block of Chocolate.

Sounds like me baking, I hardly ever measure things either.
With the ball park estimate I can it a try....just don't have the bars in the pantry right now but do have the cocoa powder.

I am assuming that is unsweetened chocolate?
Looks really good. Hope to make it before the summer is over.
