You probably already have a chocolate sheet cake recipe that's wonderful as
well as a great chocolate frosting. JOY says when you take the cake out of
the oven to sprinkle it with 3 and 1/2 cups mini marshmallows and l cup
chopped pecans. Return it to the oven for 2 or 3 minutes until the
marshmallows puff. Spread frosting gently. Then cool. I've read somewhere
that if you don't have mini marshmallows that you can chop regular sized
ones with wet scissors. Haven't tried that. Polly
