How to Make Chocolate Mud Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 24cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth). Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and caster sugar together until pale, thick, and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
  5. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  6. Stir in the chopped pecans and bourbon (if using).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the brownies are baking, prepare the icing: Melt the butter and chocolate for the icing in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave). Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Transfer the icing to an electric mixer and beat on medium speed while gradually adding the icing sugar until smooth and creamy (about 10 minutes).
  10. Once the brownies are baked, immediately spread the icing over the top and sprinkle with mini marshmallows.
  11. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares using a sharp, hot, wet knife.
