Tasty Treat Tuesday: Mississippi Mud Brownies

August 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Um… does this even need and explanation?  I think the ooey gooey chocolatey goodness speaks for itself.  The only thing I might change would be to use walnuts instead of almonds, but that is just a personal preference.  I’m pretty sure this might by the yummiest brownie ever!  Thanks for the recipe Bev Cooks!

Here’s what you need to make these:

for the brownies:

* 2 sticks butter
* 2 cups sugar
* 4 eggs
* 4 Tbs. cocoa
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 cup chopped almonds, plus more for garnish
* 1 cup marshmallows

for the sauce:

* 3/4 cup powdered sugar
* 1/2 stick butter, room temp
* 3 Tbs. cocoa
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 1/4 cup evaporated milk

There have been a few times in my adult life where others have made lemon poppyseed bread/muffins for me and every time they have been delicious.  I always say I am going to ask for the recipe and attempt to make some myself, but that has yet to actually happen.  I think in my mind I had convinced myself that lemon poppyseed bread was hard to make.  I came across this recipe on Pinterest and it looks so easy and so very yummy.  I can’t wait to test it out.  Thanks Delish!

Muffins:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
