Think about a cross between a brownie and a piece of fudge...then add just enough creamy marshmallow layer and chocolate drizzle to put you into chocolate dessert heaven...okay, you are getting into the groove of the Mississippi Mud Brownie! This easy brownie is dressed up enough to be a fancy brownie dessert for company. (You will need to have company so you don't eat more than you should...)
Pour the easy to mix batter into a pan lined with aluminum foil, and leave "handles" on the ends of the foil. This makes it where you can lift the cooked and cooled brownie from the dish and put the whole thing on a cutting board for clean, neat cuts.
As soon as the brownie comes out of the oven, you will add a thin layer of marshmallow cream over the top. Blop the marshmellow cream on first, let is sit a minute to warm, then spread it out. This is actually a very thin layer-just 1 cup-of the cream. This gives a nice topping to the brownies, without getting too gooey or overly sweet.
Now drizzle on the melted chocolate...have fun here.
Here is a chocolate drizzle tip I learned from Carissa: Put a plastic baggie over a small glass, then pour in the melted chocolate, seal the bag, then snip off one corner of the baggie. This is a quick and easy way to drizzle chocolate with no mess.
After a couple hours of cooling time, you are ready to take the foil handles and lift the brownie (with the foil) from its pan. If you have one of these tools, called a bench scraper, it makes cutting fast and easy. But a long knife will work well too. These brownies freeze very well in a Tupperware dish. Be careful about putting them in zipper-top baggies though, as the marshmallow and drizzle will smear if it is bumped or touched. Now, pour a cup of coffee (or milk) and enjoy a decadent dessert!
