Here are rich, fudge-like squares that are packed with marshmallows and nuts. The easy recipe makes eight brownies, but you’ll want the extras to enjoy another time.

PREP: 15 MIN. + CHILLING • MAKES: 8 SERVINGS
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon evaporated milk, divided
3/4 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 20 wafers)
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 1/4 cup milk; stir until smooth. Transfer 2 tablespoons to another bowl; stir in remaining milk and set aside for topping.
2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed wafers, marshmallows, confectioners’ sugar and pecans; beat in the remaining chocolate mixture. Press into a 5 3/4x3x2-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Spread with reserved chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours or until firm. Cut into bars.
TOP TIP
For uniform bars or squares, use a ruler and make cut marks with the point of a sharp knife. Lay the ruler on top of the bars between the guide marks and use the edge as a cutting guide. If you’re cutting the bars in the pan, remove a corner piece first, then the rest will be easier to lift out.
