Instructions:

-Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown (20 minutes)
-Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on medium power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted.
-Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan. Stir occasionally until melted.
-Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate.
-Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.
-Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake about 40 to 45 minutes.
-Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the grill and preheat on low.
-Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares and enjoy!
