Place pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. 2. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until toasted. 3. Microwave 1 cup butter and semisweet chocolate in a large microwave-safe glass bowl at HIGH 1 minute or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. 4. Whisk sugar and next 5 ingredients into chocolate mixture. Pour batter into a greased 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. 5. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle evenly with miniature marshmallows; bake7 or so minutes until just before turning brown. (You can brown but I like when the marshmallows are dry just before browning.) Drizzle warm cake with Chocolate Frosting (recipe below), and sprinkle evenly with toasted pecans. *I have used 2 oz. of bittersweet chocolate bar and 2 oz. of German chocolate baking bar combined when I didn’t have semi-sweet. It was very good. Chocolate Frosting ½ cup butter 1 lb. powdered sugar ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa 1 tsp. vanilla extract ⅓ cup milk Stir together first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until slightly thickened, remove from heat. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
