Mississippi Mud
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add butter and eggs, stirring until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans. Pour mixture into a greased and floured 13- x 9-inch baking pan.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle marshmallows over top; return to oven, and bake 1 minute. Remove from oven, and spread marshmallows evenly on top. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Spread Chocolate Frosting evenly over marshmallows, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Cool completely, and cut into squares.
- Note: If marshmallows do not spread easily after 1 min. in oven, do not bake longer. Let stand 1 to 2 min. to soften.
