There are lots of recipes for Mississippi Mud Brownies out there but this one is perfection. Moist brownies topped with marshmallows and a rich chocolate ganache. Everyone asks for this bar recipe when I make these.



MISSISSIPPI MUD BROWNIES

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.

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?”

My neighbor Julie has made them a couple of times for me and hands down these were our favorite treat at Christmas this year. And after harassing her relentlessly I finally have the recipe!
