This recipe came to me by way of my beloved sister, Sharon. She got the recipe from an unidentified friend (if you are reading this, please present yourself, o purveyor of tricky marshmallow goodness!). Not only are these the best Passover brownies you will ever eat — they may just be the best brownies. Period. A smidge of potato starch makers them silky, and the marshmallows caramelize along the surface to create a chewy topography of sweet satisfaction.
