Mississippi Mud Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the unsweetened chocolate with 1 cup of butter. You can do this in a saucepan over low heat. Once it’s melted, remove it from the heat and set aside.

Into a mixing bowl add sugar, flour and salt. Pour the melted chocolate into the flour mixture and mix to combine. Then add the eggs one at a time. Fold in pecans.

Place the mixture into a 9×12 greased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes.

While the brownie is baking, melt 2 squares of chocolate with 1/2 cup of butter in the same saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add milk and heat until hot. (Don’t let it come to a full boil.) Remove from heat and add vanilla and powdered sugar. Mix everything together with a mixer.

Remove brownie from oven and immediately cover it with the marshmallows. Then pour the icing over the marshmallows.

Let cool before cutting. Garnish with pecans if you like.

Makes 12 servings.
