Recipe Ingredients:

1 (21-ounce) package brownie mix
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Grease foil.
2. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions and spread into prepared pan.
3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. (Do not over bake.)
