Marshmallow Frosted Brownies aka Mississippi Mud Brownies

Mississippi Mud Brownies are ooey-gooey chewy brownies topped with marshmallows and a homemade chocolate fudge icing. 

This is the 3rd time I have made these delicious Marshmallow Frosted Brownies.  I initially made them for a Super Bowl party, and now I cannot stop making them. I posted about these brownies in late January, on "Blogs and Recipes Worth Mentioning".

I did not go into a whole lot of details about this recipe, so I wanted to make sure this recipe didn't buried in all my posts. Today I'm making a separate post just for these wonderful brownies because they really do deserve it.

They were a huge hit at the super bowl party and the whole pan was cleaned out by the end of the night. I actually had to make a second batch the following day, because my husband never did get a brownie.

I love the marshmallow filling and the warm chocolaty icing on top. I think the homemade icing takes these brownies over the top. This recipe uses a boxed brownie mix, so it doesn't get any simpler than that. If you haven't made these brownies you don't know what you're missing.

Mix the brownie mix according to the box directions for cake like brownies. 

Bake and remove from oven. 

Cover the baked brownies with the mini marshmallows and put back into the oven for a few minutes.  

It only takes a couple minutes for the marshmallows to puff up. One they look puffy remove from the oven and set aside to cool; 

While the brownies are cooling prepare the chocolate icing. In a medium size pot over medium-high heat add the butter, cocoa, water and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together using a wire whisk. Remove from heat and while still hot add the confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Mix well to blend everything together. 

Continue to whisk until the frosting starts to thicken. 

If you're like me you don't have much patience, so I fill a large bowl with ice water and place the pot with the icing inside the bowl and whisk the icing so it thickens faster. You don't want it really thick or cold. Just mix until it starts to thicken a bit , but is still pourable consistency and warm.

Pour frosting evenly over the marshmallows while frosting is still warm . Allow to cool before cutting.

Yield: 8-10
