Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the Texas Mud. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to bubble and expand.
- Do not stir the Texas Mud while it is cooking. Stirring will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
- Cook the Texas Mud over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Let the Texas Mud cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the chocolate to thicken.
- Serve the Texas Mud with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or chocolate chips.
