    Anna Miller's Mississippi Mud

    Mississippi Mud
    Mississippi Mud

    By Kevin Williams

    An elderly Amish lady in Upstate New York sent me this dessert recipe for Mississippi Mud that definitely sounds worth a try.  The instructions are a bit spare (such as baking time and temperature).  I am sure this is one of these things where Anna Miller knows exactly how to make it and doesn't even need a recipe, so trying to write it down was likely tough for her.   There was also no pan size listed.

    Anna Miller's Mississippi mud is a not a unique recipe, it's a chocolatey confection that appears in many cookbooks. But if you need a sweet fix, it's a good dessert so when reader Penny made some recently I jumped at the chance to run her photo and get her recipe and pair it with this post.

    Mississippi mud has marshmallows, chocolate, frosting and, yeah, if you are calorie counting you probably don't want to make this.
