I'd have to say that I've been asked to share this chocolaty layered her recipe more than any other in my collection. It's a longtime favorite of our three daughters. How many times we've all made these, I can't count. — Esther Shank, Harrisonville, Virginia

Rave reviews from my college kid! Made these in a disposable 9x13 baking pan and shipped them the next day after chilling in the fridge overnight. Got a call the day they arrived! :D He said he LOVED them and wouldn't change a thing. That's definitely a 5-star treat in my book!!

Easy and delicious. I left out the peanut butter since we have a severe allergy in our home. My family couldn't get enough of these. I made the marshmallow part easy and used mini marshmallows and put them on top of the brownie and into the oven for a few minutes. When they came out the marshmallow was nice and toated, and didn't need to be spread. I do not put these in the refrigerator because the top would have been too hard to cut into. I would definitely make these again. Family was asking for them before the pan was empty.

I didn't care that much for these. Didn't have any trouble mixing them up, or cutting through the marshmallow layer. Just didn't excite me.

The marshmallow center was so hard to chew after chilling and can not keep out of frig because the top layer will melt.

This was so good! And so easy to make. We will be having this again - soon. And I had no problem using the miniature marshmallows. I simply covered the top with the marshmallows and popped the pan back in the oven for 2 minutes, took it out and smoothed the marshmallows out some.

Made this recipe last night with my mom. Luckily she makes these every year for Christmas and gave me tips or else I'd be dealing with problems others seem to be experiencing. I didn't really use this recipe in particular but one she had that's very similar. We use marshmallow cream and scoop it out in blobs. While the oven is still warm pop it back in there and it'll melt making it much easier to spread. For the top layer we used half chocolate chips and half butterscotch for a variety to this recipe. VERY Addicting! Hope this helps =]

These were ok. The top layer didn't really mesh well with the bottom layer and were a little bit too sweet.
