Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the brownies do not stick.
  2. Combine Oil and Cocoa Powder: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a rich chocolate base for the brownies.
  3. Add Butter and Sugar: Add the softened butter to the cocoa mixture and blend until creamy. Then stir in the granulated sugar to help create a delicious crust on your brownies.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time into the mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender and moist.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Add Marshmallows: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly sprinkle 2 cups of mini marshmallows over the warm brownies. Return to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, just until the marshmallows begin to melt and become gooey.
  8. Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool entirely in the pan; this helps the marshmallow layer to set and makes frosting easier to spread.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, evaporated milk, and 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  10. Adjust Frosting Consistency: Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar, stirring continually until the frosting reaches your desired thickness and consistency.
  11. Frost the Brownies: Spread the prepared frosting evenly over the cooled brownies to create a decadent, chocolatey topping.
  12. Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your ultimate Mississippi mud brownies that perfectly combine fudgy chocolate with marshmallow gooeyness and rich frosting.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter after adding flour to keep brownies tender.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the dessert.
  • For extra gooey marshmallows, watch closely when returning them to the oven; they melt quickly.
  • Allow brownies to cool fully before frosting to prevent melting and sliding.
  • Adjust frosting thickness by adding powdered sugar gradually.
