Let’s Make Easy Mud Brownies!

The extra step in making your own frosting is absolutely divine in these brownies. You won’t regret the extra time!

Eggs: Eggs beat best into recipes when they are at room temperature, so if you have time and remember to remove them from the fridge about 20-30 minutes before using them.Flour: I like to sift my flour so that it mixes in smoothly and I do not have any lumps.Cocoa Powder: There are two types of cocoa powder out there, regular and dutch cocoa. Regular cocoa has a lighter color and more intense chocolate flavor. Dutch cocoa has been treated to reduce some of the acidity, it creates a smooth more mellow flavor and darker color. Either one will work in this recipe, but regular will have a more intense chocolate flavor. Use dutch if you want a lighter flavor.Add: If you like a bit of a crunch, toast chopped pecans and add with the marshmallows. It is so delicious. You could use peanuts too if you wanted.Double It: If you are having a party and need to feed a crowd, double the recipe and bake in a sheet pan.Cutting Mudslide Bars: For best results let the bars cool completely. Using a good serrated knife or plastic knife use a sawing motion to cut the brownies.

Storing: These will keep either in the fridge tightly covered for up to a week. Or you can keep them tightly covered for up to 4 days at room temperature. Either way, they are delicious!Freezing: You can also keep these in the freezer. Wrap tightly with plastic and then with foil. Keep for up to 3 months.
