Ingredients:

1 cup walnut halves, toasted (can easily be omitted in the event of an allergy!)

¾ cup all-purpose flour

1½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

¾ cup butter (1½ sticks)

4 oz unsweetened chocolate

1½ cups sugar

3 eggs

16 large marshmallows
20 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions:

1. Coarsely chop walnuts.  Place in a prep bowl and set aside.
2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small batter bowl; set aside. 
3. Cut butter into pieces and chop unsweetened chocolate; place butter and chocolate into classic batter bowl.  Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1-2 minutes or until mostly melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
4. Add sugar and eggs to chocolate mixture; whisk until smooth using a whisk.  Fold in flour mixture and 1/2 cup of the walnuts until incorporated using a Mix 'N Scraper.
5. Pour batter into Deep Covered Baker, spreading evenly.  Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 5-7 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.  Carefully remove baker from microwave using oven mitts.
6. Meanwhile, snip marshmallows in half crosswise using Professional Shears.  Top brownie with marshmallows, chocolate kisses, and remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.  Microwave, covered, on HIGH 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows start to soften.   Remove from microwave.  Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.  Spoon ontop plates and serve with ice cream!
