Macaroon Brownies
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 T butter or margarine
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
Combine flour, cocoa and cream of tartar; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir
in nuts. Spread half into a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Combine coconut,
condensed milk and vanilla; carefully spread over chocolate layer. Top with the
remaining chocolate mixture.
Bake at 350� for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center
