  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme

  2. Remove from heat and beat in the sugar while still hot.
  3. Let it cool off for about ten minutes then add eggs and vanilla, blending well.
  4. Next you’ll gradually stir in the flour and nuts.
  5. Pour into a 13 x 9 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
