After 3+ years of blogging, I’ve discovered some wonderful bloggers who have also become friends. As a way to introduce my readers to these awesome bakers, I’ve invited a few of them to share a recipe. Paula is from Call Me PMc. A true Mississippi girl, she’s got 15 pages of dessert treats in her recipe index. (Her Dark Chocolate Truffles are on my must make list!)

3 Musketeer Mississippi Mud Cake will make your head explode. It’s chocolate heaven for the chocoholics. What better dessert to guest post for the Queen of Chocolate? Hi friends, I’m Paula and I share recipes at CallMePMc.com. Thanks to Joan for allowing me to guest post today. I’m a Southern gal from Mississippi. With a food critic husband (ok, that’s not official) and two sons (who are picky and food opinionated, as well), I’m just like you trying to put easy but nutritious meals on the table. I share classic Southern, 30 Minute meals and healthy recipes, but what I reallllllly like to make are desserts!

I’ll just be honest I have two plastic containers and a drawer full of chocolate at all times. I really hate to run out of an ingredient when I’m cooking so I tend to have too much of everything all the time. And, I pick up chocolate for baking after holidays when it’s on sale whether I need it or not… because #onsale. I went a little overboard after Christmas this year. That’s when I had to start using the drawer to hold it all. I told my boys, this chocolate is not snacking chocolate. This chocolate is blog chocolate. Lincoln said, “What’s blog chocolate?” “It’s for the blog.” “But, it’s just chocolate, Mom.” “No, it’s in the drawer, it’s for the blog.” At which point, he took my hand, looked me in the eye and said, “Mom, you do know that chocolate is the same as the other chocolate, right?”

Whatever. At least they don’t snack on the blog chocolate and I have it to make outrageously decadent desserts like 3 Musketeer Mississippi Mud Cake for you!

I’ve made Mississippi Mud Cake a lot of times, but never 3 Musketeer Mississippi Mud Cake. In fact, along with Strawberry Cake, it was my favorite dessert growing up. Why didn’t I think to add another chocolate layer to my favorite kicked up brownies before now?!

3 Musketeer Mississippi Mud Cake Tips

I use semi-sweet chocolate baking bars for this dessert. I like it better than using chocolate chips. Without getting into the geeky side of chocolate, I’ll just say the bars melt smoother than chips and leave it at that. I find the chocolate baking bars on the baking isle where they stock chocolate chips and cocoa powder. You can read my tips on How to Melt Chocolate for the best results.

I also like small marshmallows versus the large ones. The big marshmallows, well, they’re just too big. Get the plain minis, not the flavored ones.

You’ll want the butter and eggs to be at room temperature. Just sit them on the counter for an hour and you’ll be good to go.

Lastly, don’t over-beat this mixture. If you’re using an electric mixer, stir on low until everything is combined and smooth about 1 minute. If you’re using muscle power and stirring it by hand (I respect you), mix until everything is combined and smooth and you don’t see dry flour or cocoa.

    Hi I’m english and love your blog, does anyone know what the equivalent would be in the UK. They look a bit like Milky Ways or Mars bars. I’m dying to try them out on the family x

      A 3 Musketeer bar is a fluffy chocolate nougat covered in chocolate. Since the candy bar is just the topping, you could use any candy bar. I think aMilky Way would be yummy.

        Thanks for that Joan, if that’s the description it’s definn what we in the UK know as a Milkky Way. Whipped nougat topped with chocolate. I don’t know why manufacturers have to change the names in different countries, good job I have my family in Canada and lovely people on this blog to translate for me. I’m making this for my son in law he’s the biggest chocoholic I know. xx
