We love sweets here in Cajun Country and are excited to find new recipes to work into our rotation. This is a new recipe we have been trying out here at Maison D’Memoire and it has been a huge hit.  My grandkids love it and it’s quick and easy to prepare.

Mississippi Mud Brownies

1 pkg. brownie mix (I used Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge.)
2 large eggs
1/3 c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
1 1/4 c frosting ( I used Duncan Hines Creamy Milk Chocolate)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13×9 inch pan.

Combine brownie mix, eggs, water and oil in large bowl. Stir with spoon until well blended. Spread in pan. Bake for 27-30 minutes.

Spread marshmallow cream gently over hot brownies. Place frosting in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 15-30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Pour frosting over marshmallow cream. Swirl with knife to marbelize.

Cool completely. Cut into bars.

We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Be sure and let me know how your family likes them!

There is something exciting going on in Lafayette this May and early June.  Downtown Alive has been happening for 27 years and is continuing every Friday night this spring and fall in downtown Lafayette, just a few miles down the road from our Cajun Country B&B. These free weekly events take place at either Parc International or Parc Sans Souci and are fun for the whole family.

This Spring has seen some amazing acts come through and is still featuring some great events over the next few weeks. On May 20th Grupo Fantasma, an amazing Latin Funk band, are bringing their unique sound to Lafayette. On May 27th Horace Trahan, a renowned Cajun and Zydeco artist is visiting and the final show of the Spring season on June 3rd stars Yvette Landry, a fantastic multi-instrumentalist.

Book a stay at our Romantic Louisiana Cottages in nearby Ranye, LA, and catch all the fun this Spring in Lafayette!
