Meltaway Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Remove wrappers from chocolates; place in freezer while preparing and baking cookies. Beat butter, granulated sugar, water and vanilla in large bowl on medium speed of mixer until well blended. Add eggs; beat well. Stir together flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda. Gradually add to sugar mixture, beating on low speed until blended. Cover; refrigerate dough about two hours or until firm enough to handle. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 48 small muffin cups (1-3/4 inches in diameter) with paper or foil baking cups or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place in prepared muffin cups. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until cookie surface is set. Cookies will appear soft and moist. Do not overbake. Cool about 5 minutes on wire rack. Dust cookie tops with powdered sugar. Press frozen chocolate piece into surface of each cookie. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Makes about 48 brownie bites.

Steps:

• Prepare brownies as directed on package but add coconut and nuts into batter. Bake as directed and cool. Mix powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter, vanilla and milk (a little at a time, you might need a touch more milk). Spread over brownies and cool in refrigerator at least 30 minutes. Frosting must be firm. Heat chocolate squares and 2 teaspoons butter until melted. Spread over frosting. Spread evenly. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. This can be stored in refrigerator or on cupboard.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt chocolate and butter with oil. Remove from heat. Add both sugars and whisk 10 seconds. Add eggs and whisk vigorously until glossy and smooth,45 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, stir in dry ingredients. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan, smoothing top with spatula.
• Bake until set and a tester inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes, then remove using parchment; let cool completely on rack before cutting into squares. Brownies can be stored in an airtight container up to 2 days.
