Mississippi Mud Brownies




My favorite one-bowl brownie recipe topped with warm gooey marshmallows and chocolate frosting.


Prep Time: 10 mins – Cook Time: 25 mins – Total Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or canola oil)
  • 1/2 cup butter , softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows

For the frosting:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 – 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13” pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, pour oil over cocoa powder and mix. Add softened butter and mix until smooth. Add sugar and mix for 1 minute.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla and mix. Add flour and salt and stir to combine.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove brownies from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly on top. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely.
Once brownies are cool, make the frosting.
For the frosting:
Add melted butter, cocoa powdered, evaporated milk, vanilla, and 2 cups of powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and beat with electric beaters until smooth.

Add more powdered sugar, a cup at a time, mixing well, until you reach your desired frosting consistency. I usually use about 3 1/4 cups powdered sugar.

Spread frosting over the cooled brownies and cut into squares. I’ve found a plastic knife works best to cut them, or if you make them 1 day in advance they are much easier to cut.
