I could not bring in just one treat for a Bills victory Monday tomorrow.   So Rob suggested black cocoa brownies with peanut butter chips and black cocoa frosting.  Black cocoa is what makes oreos taste like oreos.  I found some on Amazon that I like to use.  Of course, my hershey’s classic is my standby/old faithful, but the black cocoa is nice to use once in a while.

• Ingredients list
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 /2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup corn syrup or honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup flour (scooped from your bag into your measuring cup)
• 1/3 cup black cocoa
• 1 cup peanut butter chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350.  Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray.  Set aside.  In a bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup/honey.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in flour and black cocoa.  Fold in chips.  Evenly spread into prepared pan.  Bake 13 to 17 minutes (toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs).  Immediately start prepping frosting.

• Frosting ingredients
• 3 tbs butter softened
• 3 tbs black cocoa
• 1 tsp corn syrup or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 to 6 tsp milk
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions – in a bowl, blend butter and cocoa.  Add vanilla and corn syrup/honey.  Mix in powdered sugar.  Blend in enough milk to get the consistency you want.   Frost warm brownies.  Let cool completely.  Cut and store in covered container.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Go Bills!
