Brownies Deluxe

The way that I see it, there are three types of people in this world, and they can be categorized by how they like their brownies:

1. Fudgey and gooey on the inside.
2. Cakey and thick - cooked all the way through.
3. Blondies

I will never understand the people that fall into categories 2 and 3.  I know it's like a thing to not like chocolate, but I don't get it and I don't want to get it.  And if you like your brownies like cake, why not just have cake? 

So obviously I fall into category 1.  I think you should too and if any brownie is going to convince you to switch camps, these are the ones to do it.  

These brownies are beyond deluxe.  They have everything delicious smashed into each bite!  There's the gooey brownie base and then that's topped with marshmallow and chocolate frosting.  Yes, they're sweet - but trust me, you will keep coming back and slicing off another sliver at a time, until before you know it, half the pan's gone.  I've seen it happen.
