Everyone has a Mississippi Mud recipe but this one is my favorite.
It is so rich it's got to be sinful!


2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 of a 10 oz. package of miniature marshmallows

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in eggs. Sift flour, cocoa, and salt together and add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
Add vanilla and nuts.
Pour into greased 9" X 13" pan.
Bake at 300 degrees for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and cover with mini marshmallows.
Return to oven for 10 minutes, until marshmallows are lightly browned and melting.

Cool one hour then ice with:

1 lb. box powdered sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 t. vanilla
1/4 to 1/3 cup milk, as needed
1 cup chopped walnuts

Sift together sugar and cocoa. Mix with melted butter. Add vanilla and enough milk to get the right spreading consistency.
Add nuts and spread on cake.
