My mom makes this every year to take to Grandma’s house at Christmas. You know Christmas is getting close when she starts making them!

1st Part: Bottom Layer
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine (do not use any margarine that contains corn oil)
- 1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (real)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts)

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle with marshmallows and bake 2 minutes longer ( watch carefully, you just want the marshmallows to be soft).

- 2 oz cream cheese
