.
Then spoon strawberry mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50
minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Serve warm or cool wi
th
ice cream. 
*check often right before cooking time is finished. Be careful not to scorch th

marshmallows rise to the top. Hope you enjoy!!
