Mississippi Mud Brownies - Guide Recipe
Two things inspired this recipe.
First , I just love brownies. I have tons of different brownie recipes on my site too. I’m thinking of sharing my favorite “brownie in a mug” recipe soon. Anyone interested? It’s our go-to treat when my husband and I want something sweet , fast , that doesn’t make a mess.
Brownies are the best. Top them with marshmallows and the best creamy homemade chocolate frosting and I’m pretty much in heaven.
Second , my Mississippi Mud Cake recipe totally went viral on facebook–it’s had over 9 MILLION views. Say whhhaa?! Obviously you all love the chocolate/marshmallow combo as much as I do , so it’s high time I shared these insanely delicious Mississippi Mud Brownies!
These little beauties are really simple. They start with a super easy , one-bowl brownie recipe. That’s right–mix all the ingredients in just one bowl.
