Round 2, game 6 victory treats – melted ice cream brownies stuffed in melted ice cream chocolate chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I really had to step up these Sabres victory treats, we came back from a 3-1 deficit in Montreal, in a must win last night and won 8-3.  Yowsa.  It was awesome!  So i thought what can I do here?   I decided to make melted ice cream brownies and stuff them inside melted ice cream cookies.  Boom!

  • Brownies ingredients lost
  • 1 cup chocolate ice cream, melted
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions – line an 8×8 pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray.  Set aside.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   In a bowl, combine butter and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients then ice cream.  Evenly spread into pan.  Bake 22 to 27 minues, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.  Cool completely.  Then cut in small squares.

For the chocolate chip cookies, I used a mix of vanilla and chocolate ice cream.  I also used a combo of all purpose and bread flour, but you can just use all purpose flour.  I used milk chocolate chips, but again, whatever chip is fine.

  • Chocolate chip cookie dough ingredients
  • 1 cup ice cream, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup crisco
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

In a bowl, cream crisco and sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients,  then ice cream.  Fold in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough and divide in half.  Flatten each half.  On one half, place a brownie square.

Top with another half.

Seal edges. 

I recommend chilling these for a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 12 to 15 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.  Store in covered container

First playoff win in 15 years celebration bars

Uncategorized Leave a comment

These are quite a concoction to honor the Sabres first playoff win in 15 years in our first playoff game in 15 years.  I wondered how nervous I would be, as I would be working in studio for Sunday night baseball on espn radio.  The answer – very.  I was extremely antsy, much like for Bills playoff games.  And for 52 minutes, I did not take a breath.  We were down 2-nothing, scored 4 unanswered goals and beat Boston 4-3 in game one.  What i loved seeing is all the videos of people inside Key Bank Center and at various places indoors and outdoors, watching.   It was just awesome.  i am not sure how far this sabres team will go, but it just feels different.

Because it was such an impressive comeback win, these treats are a doozy- chocolate chip cookie layer on the bottom, a layer of oreos, a layer of brownies, and pieces of mini hershey bars pressed into the bars immediately after taking them out of the oven.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  And firmly packed brown sugar into your measuring cup.  And, preheat your oven before baking.

  • Chocolate chip cookie layer
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9×13 pan with baking spray.   Place parchment paper on top of sprayed pan.  Set aside.   In a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add egg, yolk and vanilla.  Blend in flour.   Mix in chips.  Gently press into prepared pan.

Top with a layer of oreos.

  • Brownie ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa

Directions – in a microwave safe bowl, melt butter and chips in 45 second increments until you can stir melted.   Add sugar and eggs.  Blend in flour and cocoa.   Drop by large spoonfuls on top of oreo layer and spread evenly.

Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Gently press Press pieces of hershey bars on top. 

Cool completely.    Store in covered container.
