Ooh, gooey good stuff. Do you love chocolate? You'll love these. Love brownies? You'll love these. Love nuts? Then sprinkle some on top. They're irresistible and don't last long. You can also top it with coconut, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate candies, etc. Using a chocolate bar gives these a richer flavor. These bars are not hard to make.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

So sweet and chocolaty, these mud bars are irresistible. The brownie-like layer is rich. Adding sour cream makes the frosting very creamy with a slight tang. What turns this into a memorable dessert is the layer of slightly melted marshmallows. Super rich, a small piece is satisfying.

How To Make irresistible mud bars

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9" square pan. Set out and measure all Ingredients before starting the recipe.

Step 2

In a 2 qt. saucepan, melt 1/3 c of butter with 2.5 oz of chocolate over low heat. Heat until melted. Stir frequently and set aside.
Step 3

In a medium bowl, add Bisquick, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs to a bowl. With an electric mixer, on low mix in the chocolate just until blended; about 30 seconds. Then, increase the speed to medium and blend for 1 minute more. Do not overbeat.
Step 4

Spread batter in the greased and floured pan. The batter is on the thick side.
Step 5

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven.
Step 6

Immediately sprinkle with the mini marshmallows. Let the bars cool completely for about 1 hour.
Step 7

For the frosting, in a 2 qt. saucepan, melt the remaining 2.5 oz of chocolate with the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter. Cool to warm. Then stir in the sour cream and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.
Step 8

Spread frosting over the marshmallows.
Step 9

Place in the refrigerator to chill. This will make cutting into bars easier. When cooled, cut into bars.
