I love chocolate and in all honesty, I think people who don't like chocolate are C.R.A.Z.Y!!! Last week someone posted the link to Bakerella's blog on a local message board. It was definitely a bad idea for me to look at this blog. She has some AMAZING baked goods on her blog. As soon as I saw the first picture in "Thaaank You, Betty", I was hooked. And to top it off, it was a super easy recipe...of the likes of Sandra Lee's "Semi-homemade" recipes.
It is actually a recipe off the Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix (the kind that comes in a bag). Other than the mixes, all you need is butter, eggs, oil... things you probably keep on hand anyway. I always have one of these cookie dough mixes in the pantry in case I get a craving and am amazed that I had not noticed this recipe yet. Maybe because I don't keep brownie mix on hand?
Anyway, Bakerella did not steer me wrong, this is an amazing treat... Brownies, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Frosting all in one pan. HEAVEN!
from Betty Crocker
1 Box Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
1 pouch Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
Chocolate Frosting of your choice
Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. Make brownie mix as directed on box, using oil, water and 2 eggs. Spread in pan.
Make cookie mix as directed on pouch, using butter and 1 egg.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls evenly onto brownie batter; press down lightly.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
If you want to make your own frosting, do so while the brownies cool.
I used Bakerella's recipe for Chocolate Ganache.
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
6 Tbsp butter
In a small saucepan, heat cream and butter until just before the boiling stage.
Pour over the chocolate morsels.
Let stand about 20 seconds and stir until smooth.
Pour over brownies and let set before cutting.
To make 48 brownies, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. I have a feeling this sized brownie will be too small for my sweet tooth family and coworkers!
