Easy Mississippi Mud Brownies Recipe
These easy Mississippi mud brownies are super-rich, gooey, sweet, chewy, and delicious.
Ingredients
- cup butter, melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 10.5 oz bag miniature marshmallows
- 1 can prepared chocolate frosting (I used a milk chocolate frosting)
Instructions
- Whisk together melted butter and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in flour. Pour batter into a greased and floured 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan.
- Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; top warm cake evenly with marshmallows. Return to oven, and bake 5 minutes. (If you use a different size pan you will have to adjust cooking time. Just keep an eye on it and keep checking for doneness).
- Remove cake from oven and cool completely. You can transfer the cake to the fridge once the pan is cooled enough. (Don’t put a hot pan in a cold fridge).
- When ready to serve, microwave the chocolate frosting for 30 seconds and stir. Spread the frosting over the cake, then garnish with chopped pecans. Using a sharp knife that has been sprayed lightly with Pam, cut into squares.
