This recipe takes the classic Mississippi mud cake ingredients and turns them into Mississippi Mud Brownies.
It will come as no surprise to you that Mississippi mud cake originated in the state of Mississippi, but did you know that it gets its name from the mud which is found on the banks of the Mississippi River? This is a cake for chocolate lovers and those with a sweet tooth.
These brownies are absolute perfection – they have a crumbly chocolate crust and are topped with marshmallow cream and chocolate frosting. They are decadent and delicious. Make them for a crowd and watch them disappear!
To make Mississippi Mud Brownies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the cocoa until you have a smooth mixture.
Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla and combine well.
Mix in the flour. Fold the pecan nuts and marshmallows into the mixture.
Add the cake mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread out evenly.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven when the brownies start to come away from the side of the pan.
Leave the brownies to cool in the pan.
Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and 1/3 cup of cocoa together in a pan over medium heat. Add the confectioners' sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the milk gradually, one tablespoon at a time until icing has the desired consistency for spreading.
Spread the frosting on top of the brownies.
Serve with vanilla ice cream.
