Mississippi Mud Bars

Smooth chocolately moist bar topped with roasted marshmallows, toasted pecans and chocolate sauce…

Who wants to make their butt bigger??

I DO!! I DO!!

I finally got the camera back.. only after a month of nagging and complaining… I wonder if I nagged about the kitchen sink like that it would happen too..

Nagging takes energy.. after the first round of would you? Could you? Why didn’t you? It is so much easier to do it myself..or let it go and pretend it isn’t broken or missing or about to fall off the roof…

But back to back fat makers…

It doesn’t take a lot to make these.. just a little time

 Here we have …

Cocoa, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, powdered sugar, mini marshmallows and pecans.. flour was forgotten.. like the diet I was going to start this week.

Mix your sugar, butter and vanilla  Add eggs one at a time

Until all are incorporated

In med size bowl add your flour, cocoa and salt

Add to buttereggvanillasugar mixture and beat well..

In a 9x13 pan line with foil that you butter or spray well.. don’t forget the sides like I did so your marshmallows don’t stick

Spread batter into pan and bake for 30 mins @ 350

Forget to take a picture before you put pan back in oven with your marshmallows on top..

Just give me a spoon and I will take it from here… let it bake for about 3 to 5 mins.. you want your marshmallows to be puffed up

Add your toasted pecans ( lazy? why yes I am!! I just haphazardly chopped the pecans if you’re a perfectionist with those things have at it.. and then I will hand you all my kids and see if you continue to make everything perfect) somewhere there is a picture of the pecans on the marshmallows.. but I just blame everything on the formentioned kids and carry on.

Now lets make the chocolate sauce..  powdered sugar and salt

Melt butter

Add cocoa and milk

Bring to a boil and then add to powdered sugar

Beat on high speed and then drizzle over pecans

Shove in fridge for a few hours so it can set up then cut into bars and try not to eat them all in one sitting..
