Two things inspired this recipe.

First, I just love brownies. I have tons of different brownie recipes on my site too. I’m thinking of sharing my favorite “brownie in a mug” recipe soon. Anyone interested? It’s our go-to treat when my husband and I want something sweet, fast, that doesn’t make a mess.

Brownies are the best. Top them with marshmallows and the best creamy homemade chocolate frosting and I’m pretty much in heaven.

Second, my Mississippi Mud Cake recipe totally went viral on facebook–it’s had over 9 MILLION views. Say whhhaa?! Obviously you all love the chocolate/marshmallow combo as much as I do, so it’s high time I shared these insanely delicious Mississippi Mud Brownies!

These little beauties are really simple. They start with a super easy, one-bowl brownie recipe. That’s right–mix all the ingredients in just one bowl.
