Recipe Tips

If you need to save time or don't want to make the cake from scratch you can easily make a boxed chocolate cake mix and then add the marshmallows and icing over the top.

If you are like me and when you melt butter it implodes all over your microwave check out these silicone covers. I just bought them and they are saving me from having to deep clean the microwave all the time.

When making this Mississippi Mud Cake you want to plan in time for it to cool down to room temperature and the icing to solidify on the top.
