cookie dough brownies

A layer of brownie and a layer of cookie dough... YES PLEASE!

These were super yummy and the more I ate the more I wanted!

(recipe found via here - I love her blog!)

At first, I did feel that the brownie layer was a little too dry, but after a few days keeping in the fridge it didn't seem so dry anymore. Could have just been an error on my part (maybe a little over baked?), but I think next time I will adapt the brownie layer a little in an attempt to make it more moist (I'll update this post if I do this successfully!)

Cookie Dough Brownies

1 cup soft butter

2 cups light brown sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted & cooled slightly

1 cup flour

Mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs & vanilla. Mix in the melted chocolate until combined. On low speed mix in the flour just until combined. Line a 9x13 pan with foil. Butter the foil. Pour in brownie batter and bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes. Toothpick inserted in center should come out clean. Cool completely.

3/4 cup soft butter

3/4 cup light brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

3 tablespoons milk

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

(plus extra for sprinkling on top)

Mix together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until combined. On low speed mix in the flour just until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips by hand. Spread cookie dough over cooled brownie layer. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Refrigerate until the dough is firm (about an hour). Cut into squares and store in the refrigerator.

You will thank me for sharing this recipe... I promise!

Candy Road Brownies

I took this recipe off a betty crocker box last summer and have made it many times since then. It's so easy and yum yum yum! It's a little gooey so I might not take it to a black-tie even, but for other things, like say, breakfast, it's perfect! (haha - I love sugar for breakfast!)

Candy Road Brownies

1 box Betty Crocker Frosted Premium Brownie Mix

water, oil, and egg called for on brownie mix box

1 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows

1/3 cup candy-coated chocolate candies

(I used mini MnM's)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of  8" or 9" square pan with cooking spray or shortening. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan. Bake 8" for 30 minutes or 9" for 26 minutes. Sprinkle with marshmallows. Bake 10 to 12 minutes longer or until marshmallows are puffed and golden. Immediately sprinkle with candies. Squeeze frosting into microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 15-20 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Stir. Drizzle over brownies. Cool completely. For easier cutting use plastic knife. Makes 16 brownies.
