  Using and glass measuring cup or glass bowl, melt the butter and grated unsweetened chocolate together in the microwave for 2 minutes on 1/2 power. Remove and continue to stir until fully blended together. Set aside to cool.

  In another medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

  After removing from the oven, pour the marshmallows over the hot brownies in an even layer. Place back in the oven for 1 minute under the broiler. DO NOT raise the rack of the oven. Remove brownies from oven. Marshmallows should still be white or just barely browned on top. Turn off oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the marshmallows evenly. Place back in the warm oven for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and, using a spatula, smooth the melted chocolate chips over the marshmallows.

  Let brownies cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, before removing the brownies from the pan using the foil sling and cutting into squares.
