Mississippi Mud Dip

Mississippi Mud Dip. A rich & creamy layer of faux “brownie batter” is topped with gooey marshmallow fluff, silky chocolate ganache and crunchy walnuts. Pure decadence!

Thanks to a variety of different factors, I never got around to sharing last week’s Tailgate Thursday post for Ole Miss. It was just one of those weeks where nothing went as planned and everything seemed to be going wrong.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has weeks like these, and being aware of everything going on with Hurricane Sandy helped to put things into perspective.

{As a side note, did you know there are lots of different ways you can still help out those who are still recovering from the storm? Be sure to check them out!}

Meanwhile, in our own little bubble, life has changed drastically: We got a puppy. But {a lot} more on that later this week.

I’m sharing a recipe today that I’m pretty sure was made for “those days”. For the days when your washing machine dies mid-wash. The days when you get caught in a rainstorm… after spending half an hour straightening your hair. When you bake the most delicious cookies ever and accidentally drop the entire tray on the kitchen floor. 

For the bad days at work… at school… at home. When your kids haven’t let you get a good night’s sleep for what seems like months days. When your boss gave you an “urgent” project — at 4:45 pm. When your car starts making a noise that cannot be good. The days when your new puppy has peed the carpet for the umpteenth time and you are absolutely certain that you have managed to get the only untrainable dog on the face of this planet. 

A creamy, rich layer of faux “brownie batter”, topped with sweet and gooey marshmallow fluff, walnuts, and a coating of silky ganache. Served with pretzels, it covers the bases for both salty AND sweet. I should start packaging this stuff & selling it next to the Midol. It cures all ills, ladies.

I’m glad I never got around to sharing it as a part of Tailgate Thursday because it really deserves a post of it’s own. I’m feeling more chipper already.
