Uncategorized Leave a comment

A day late Sabres victory treat!

I didn’t have time to bake victory treats after our win over the Lightning, so I stepped it up today – hot fudge brownie cookies with crushed nutter butters and peanut butter chips! 

These are simple, using just a few ingredients  – brownie mix, flour, water, oil, egg, hot fudge, nutter butters and Reese’s peanut butter chips.  And yes, you can leave the nutter butters out, use a different crushed cookie, and also use a different chips flavor!

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 brownie mix
  • 1/2 cup flour (scooped from flour bag into measuring cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 tbs water
  • 1/4 cup hot fudge (room temp is easiest to work with)
  • 16 nutter butters, finely crushed
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
Using a food processor is easiest way to crush nutter butters

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  In a bowl, blend brownie mix, flour, egg, water and vegetable oil.  Blend in hot fudge, then nutter butters.  Mix in chips.  Scoop our 1/4 cups of dough and stagger on prepared cookie sheet. 

Bake 12 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely. 

I put mine in the fridge to help firm them up a bit.  Store in covered container.

I wanted to make brownies quickly, so I grabbed a mix and added a few things to dress it up.

1 tbs vanilla

I baked them, according to the directions  on back of the box.

Sugar Cookie Brownie Bars/Brownie Sugar Cookies bars (frosted and topped with M&Ms)

Uncategorized Leave a comment

To kick off NFL week 14, I decided to mix a brownie mix, with a sugar cookie mix, add some eggs, melted butter and vanilla and bring this concoction into work.  Not sure whether to call them sugar cookie brown bars or Brownie sugar cookie bars.  And I frosted them with vanilla frosting and tossed some m&ms on top.

I did not realize it was national cookie day, but these treats should suffice.

You can use whatever cookie mix flavor you want and if you find a blondie or chocolate chip bar mix, you can certainly swap out the brownie mix.  

Remember to preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 brownie mix
  • 1 cookie mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions- preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9×13 pan with baking spray.  Set aside.   In a bowl, combine mixes, blend in eggs, butter and vanilla. Spread evenly into pan.  Bake 22 to 28 minutes.  (Toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs).  I don’t recommend baking these longer than 28 minutes.  Cool completely.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla

In a bowl, combine butter and powdered sugar.  Add heavy cream, one tbs at a time, until you get the consistency you want.  Blend in vanilla.  Frost bars.  Toss some m&ms on top.
