Happy Fat Tuesday!!!

I thought about sharing my trip to New Orleans today, but I’ll save that for #tbt because I realized I owe you guys a recipe, and do I have a show stopper…and you might want to get out your stretchy pants because I make no promises that you will be able to refrain yourself from eating the entire batch!

Now, I know how easy brownies can be to make from scratch and I always have all the ingredients, but I also make sure to have a box ( yea, you heard me, a box!) of my favorite brownie mix. There is nothing wrong with taking a short cut, especially if you need dessert in a pinch. After many years, my go to mix is Ghirardelli. It taste the closest to many homemade recipes I have tried.

I remember last year coming across many recipes for “the brookie” or “crownie” half brownie/half chocolate chip cookie (hellloooo best dessert ever) which emulated the wonderful dessert, The Brookster, that Baked NYC introduced to the world a few years ago and now thanks to Pinterest I stumbled upon a recipe that has now gone viral that took the brookie up…….another notch! (insert Emeril Lagasse Voice)

I give you, “The Slutty Brownie” which sandwiches Oreos between layers of Fudgy Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie…oh, you naughty brownie you 😉

What is so great about this recipe is that I use A LOT of help from the store. My Ghirardelli boxed brownie mix, a roll of Toll House cooke dough (you know you still love it too!) and a package of Oreos. The only extra ingredients you need are what’s required for mixing up the brownie mix. I promise you that you will make instant friends wherever you bring these brownies!!

Slutty Brownies

I have some pretty exciting recipes and food adventures coming up that I can’t wait to share! One of my bestest friends, Brittany, is celebrating her birthday this weekend so I will be heading into NYC for birthday celebrating and a food crawl!!! The next few weeks will also be busy with writing report cards and other school commitments, but I will do my best to bring you some tasty treats!

With Love and Sugar, Kristen xo.
