MISSISSIPPI MUD BROWNIES

(Originally posted 2015)

I just returned from a week long trip to Maui. All I can say is that the beauty of the island is overwhelming. While biking down Mt. Haleakala I saw plants and trees that looked so magical they almost looked fabricated. I feel lucky to have spent 1 of my 52 weeks in 2015 there. On the other hand, I was loaded with guilt for leaving my kids that long. Why don’t guys ever feel the guilt?

I know I’m a foodie because I find the same kind of beauty in food. Like these brownies. I fell in love with the buttery brownie base and now want to use it for any brownie I make from now on out. The brownies are topped with marshmallows and a rich ganache that I fell in love with too. The mixture of chocolate chips, cream, and a little butter cream creates the silkiest ganache I’ve ever had…and consequently now want to pour on everything.Mississippi Mud Brownies

These brownies get the same reaction every time. People take one off the plate, assuming that they’re regular old brownies, and then they take a bite. Every time they turn around and say, “These are soooo good! Can I have the recipe?”

The ganache topping for these brownies are silky and decadent.

Fold in some marshmallows.

Ingredients

Brownies:

Chocolate Ganache-Marshmallow Topping:

  • 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon butter
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • For the brownies: In a large glass bowl, combine the unsweetened chocolate and butter. Heat in microwave 1-2 minutes stirring intermittently until melted and smooth.
  • Beat in eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until well blended.
  • Stir in flour, blending well.
  • Spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake! Brownies should be moist. Cool in pan.
  • For topping: Combine chocolate chips and cream in a large glass bowl. Heat in microwave 1-2 minutes stirring twice until melted and smooth. Add butter and stir until melted and smooth. Fold in marshmallows.
  • Spread topping evenly over the top of cooled brownies. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Tips: Line the pan with heavy duty foil and then spray it. After brownies are done lift the whole pan of brownies out by the foil for easier cutting.
