Tasty Thursdays: Mud Hens

I pinned this recipe awhile back thinking that I'd make them when I had time & was in the mood for something gooey and chocolate. Today was that day. Here is the original source.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 Cup shortening
• 4 Tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• 1 Cup sugar
• 1 whole egg
• 2 eggs, separated, plus 2 more egg whites only
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Chopped Nuts (optional. I used pecans)
  
• 1 Cup Mini Marshmallows
• 1/2 Cup (or a little more) Nestle Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar (dark or light)

Cream together butter, sugar and shortening. Add two egg yolks plus an additional egg, mix until combined. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly:

 Spread into a well greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

 Top with chocolate chips, marshmallows and nuts

 Whip 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in brown sugar until fully incorporated. Spread over mixture, covering completely.

 Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

 

Yummy Goodness!
