How to Make Chocolate Mud Brownie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Grease the foil.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
  4. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add 2 large eggs, ½ cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately spread ½ cup caramel sauce over the warm brownies.
  9. Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup mini marshmallows and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  10. Return to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown.
  11. While brownies bake, melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  12. Drizzle melted chocolate over the warm brownie bars.
  13. Let cool completely in the baking dish before lifting out using the foil overhang. Cut into small squares and serve.
