I love these cookies. It's hard to stop eating them so make a double batch. They make impressive gifts as well. If you have any filling left over, you can refrigerate and use it warmed up over ice cream.

MISSISSIPPI MALTED MUD PUDDLES
Years ago, I copied this down from a novel I was reading in which the lead character made these. Reminded me of a lava cake but simpler. The two flavored of sauce are key to the decadence. While the cake is baking, sauces can be prepared.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your mud pie will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be set. If the pie is not done baking, the filling will be runny.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
- Serve the pie with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit are all great options.
Conclusion:
Mud pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its chocolatey crust and creamy filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give mud pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
