  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter until smooth. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Gradually add syrup, beating until smooth. Fold in marshmallows. Frost bars.
