Brown Butter Brookies

Brown Butter Brookies are an amazingly delicious cookie bar recipe. Homemade Brookies from scratch are made when chocolate chip cookies and brownies collide into one amazingly delicious bar.

Brookies are always a favorite to bring to parties, picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. 

Brown Butter Brookies  are my all time favorite treat.

Who can resists Brownies or a Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Not I, especially when brown butter is involved.

If you're feeling really naughty go ahead and add a big scoop of  Vanilla Ice Cream.. 

I promise I won't tell, actually I did it myself and oh boy was it worth every last bite..

My friend Lisa requests this anytime we have dinner at their house, it's her favorite too..

For very good reasons..

I adapted this recipe from my Ultimate Brookies  post and used The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies with the brown butter.

Here's how to make these delicious Brown Butter Brookies:

Peanut Butter Cup Crunch Brownies

These are Peanut Butter Cup Crunch Brownies are sooo naughty..

I mean really naughty almost like we shouldn't talk about it naughty..

They call these Better Than Crack Brownies but for the sake of my daughters own embarrassment we are calling them Peanut Butter Cup Crunch Brownies or a Little Slice Of Heaven works too.

She thought a Little Slice Of Heaven was a much better name for these.

The whole family thought I was really finally losing it when I said were making Better Than Crack Brownies.

The two oldest looked at me and said, "What kind of name is that?"

I said,"I don't know but they sound good to me!"

Who knew a name would be such a big deal.

The family all pitched in making these and Colt looked at me like I was crazy when I explained what we were doing..

The kids all had a brownie, and then left for a few days to Colt's sister house..

The following is our tail of events..

We sat, while Colt sat and I laid on the couch, started watching Mad Men, and eating Peanut Butter Cup Crunch Brownies with Vanilla Ice Cream.. Over the next 3 nights while the kids were gone.

These are dangerously good.

Raspberry Fudge Brownies

Rich decadent Raspberry Fudge Brownies are the perfect cure to your chocolate cravings! 

I found a container of raspberries needing to be used the other day before they went bad so I decided I was making a pan of Raspberry Fudge Brownies to tame my chocolate cravings.

I don't know what it is but I'm always drawn to anything with the chocolaty raspberry combo, if it's an option on the dessert menu it's usually what I order.

One year for my 11th or 12th Birthday I made a rich chocolate cake with fresh raspberries as the filling and these Raspberry Fudge Brownies remind me of that amazingly rich chocolate cake.

I wish I would have kept the recipe for that cake because Grandma Lorna and I still talk about how good it was but these brownies are a pretty good equivalent. 

Next time Grandma is back on the mainland I'll be making her a batch of these bad boys to enjoy!

Peanut Butter Blondies

         We made these delicious Peanut Butter Blondies for Mother's Day because we had already devoured the Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake I shared with you that day.

Matter of fact these didn't last long either and may or may not have resulted in a melt down from one of the kids.

 Someone ate more then their share resulting in some serious interrogation in our house.

You would think we never have dessert the way it all went down but to be honest if it was my slice of Peanut Butter Blondies I might have resulted to interrogating people too.

We might take dessert a little too seriously sometimes.

Creme De Menthe Brownies

Creme De Menthe Brownies recipe are a classic favorite. Minty chocolate fudge brownies are covered with a creamy creme de menthe topping, and covered with chocolate ganache. They are sometimes referred to as Grasshopper Brownies if you use green creme de menthe.

I have a total weakness for all things brownie and mint. I've had an almost full bottle of Creme De Menthe waiting to be used since making Grasshopper Pie at the very beginning of July and I couldn't think of a better combination to tame my mint and brownie cravings then Creme De Menthe Fudge Brownies.

Chocolaty fudge mint brownie topped with a layer of creamy creme de menthe goodness then covered in a layer of chocolate ganache. 

 I recommend putting these on the must make list sooner rather then later!

You won't be disappointed.

Chewy Brownies With Marshmallows And Almonds

I don't know whether to call this a recipe fail or a brilliant accident.

I've been making brownies a lot lately and I mean a lot. 

We've also had this little problem I write about a lot that I make something turn around and the kids and Colt have devoured about 3/4 of what I've made before I have a picture..

Ugh.. They just don't understand..

So after the last brownies with pecans that were amazing  but eaten in 2.2 seconds I thought I had this brilliant idea to make some Rocky Road Brownies.

We'll the idea was brilliant but the marshmallow melted into the brownies leaving them a little extra chewy.

Not what I planned but deliciousness none the less.

A must make anyway.

In case you're looking for other brownie recipes make sure to try out a few of my favorites: Brown Butter Brookies, Fudgy Black Bean Brownies , Fudge Brownies With Caramel Swirl, and Fudgy Brownies With Peanut Butter Swirl.

The hardest part is deciding which ones to make first.

Fudgy Black Bean Brownies

I've had chocolate on my mind, and Fudgy Black Bean Brownies hit the spot. It's a bad habit but there's no way I'm willing to give it up!

I've seen different versions of black bean cakes, and brownies all over the internet, but the two biggest problems I had with the recipes I came across was either they had barely any black beans, or all black beans, but the texture didn't look quite as appealing. Most recipe's called for about 2/3 to 1 cup sugar more then what I used.

So last night in my brownie craving state I decided I was going to come up with a black bean brownie recipe with more beans but a traditional fudgy brownie texture and to try and reduce the sugar down. 

Let me tell you these are fabulously chocolaty and fudgy! Score!

I think the first bite I might have been able to taste a hint of the black beans but by the second I really couldn't tell.

Colt and the kids said these are some of the best brownies ever. When I told them I loaded them with black beans for protein, and fiber, Colt asked,"Are you pulling my leg?" He said he really couldn't tell so the black bean taste in the first bite might be all in my head. 

I am so very critical of the recipes I make, and pass on to you, because I know these are being fed to your husbands, wives, kids, families, and friends. 

Now go makes some fabulously Fudgy Black Bean Brownies! 

They really are divine.

Fudge Brownies With Caramel Swirl

Oh sweet Fudge Brownies With Caramel Swirl you are divine!

I will let you in on a little secret the edge pieces are so super yummy. It has this nice little bit of chewy caramelly goodness.. Straight from heaven.

These were made for a game night over at our friends house. and I think I was in a bit of trouble from their teenagers when I took the last 2 brownies home. 

I hadn't taken a picture yet and I felt rather guilty, I usually leave any extra for our wonderful hosts to enjoy later.. 

My hubby has already been hinting for me to make these again... 

Oh sweet dessert lusciousness... You will be made again soon.. Maybe tomorrow..

Fudge Brownies With Peanut Butter Swirl

Oh sweet brownies with peanut butter swirl come to momma. 

I don't know why I hadn't made these years ago. The pan lasted less then 24 hours in our house and that's with hiding the pan! These where nice and fudgy with a wonderful chocolate flavor.

I have been thinking of this mix of brownies and peanut butter since super bowl. Amanda the youth Pastor Andrews wife had brought a creation similar to these to the super bowl party, I kept meaning to ask her for the recipe but finally decided to just concoct my own version. Did I mention we have the most amazing youth pastor? Amanda and Andrew do amazing things with the kids! They are taking 20 some kids on a Missions trip to The Dream Center in L.A.! Pretty impressive if you ask me!

OK, NOW GO MAKE THESE! For my sanity and yours!
