Gooey Mud Hen Bars Take Brownies to the Next Level
Looking to switch up your brownie routine? BuzzFeed shows you how to make a gooey-on-the-inside and crispy-on-the outside dessert by simply using store bought brownie mix.
What takes these bars to another level is the brown sugar meringue baked on top that forms a crunchy crust.
Start by making the brownie mix according to the box instructions and pour the batter into a square pan. Top the batter with marshmallows, pecans, and chocolate chips to make the gooey center. Then cover the dessert in a blanket of whipped egg whites and brown sugar. Bake the tray in a 350 *F oven for about 35 minutes until the top layer turns golden brown.
The dessert bakes up crisp and airy on the outside from the meringue and as soon as you take a slice, the inside reveals a molten chocolatey center. After one bite of this delicious mashup of an old Southern dessert, you’ll never eat brownies the same way again.
