Mommy Brownies Recipes

• Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely in pan, about 1 hour.
• Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan. Use sharp knife to cut brownies into 6 rows by 4 rows, making 24 brownies.
• Spoon frosting into large resealable freezer plastic bag; seal bag. Cut very small tip from one corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe frosting over brownies in zigzag motion for mummy wrapping. Attach 2 eyeballs to each brownie.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 8-in. square baking pans with foil, letting ends extend up sides; grease foil. In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in vanilla and chocolate mixture. In another bowl, mix flour and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture, mixing well. If desired, stir in pecans., Spread into prepared pans. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack., Lifting with foil, remove brownies from pans. Cut into bars. Using a No. 46 pastry tip, pipe frosting over brownies. Decorate with candy eyes.

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT: Oven to 350 degrees F. PREPARE: Baking pan by greasing and flouring 9x13x2-inch pan (or spraying with 'Baker's Joy' nonstick cooking spray).
• 2. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.
• 3. COMBINE: 2 sticks butter, 1 cup boiling water, and 4 Tbsp Cocoa in small sauce pan and bring to a boil.
• 4. MIX: 2 Cups Sugar, 2 Cups flour, and salt together and add hot mixture.
• 5. DISSOLVE: 1/2 Cup buttermilk and 1 tsp. baking soda together, add 2 eggs. MIX: Well. ADD: Nuts. MIX WELL: All above ingredients together. POUR: Into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. COOL: Slightly.
• 6. ICING: MEANWHILE: Prepare icing by melting, butter, milk, cocoa together in small sauce pan. ADD: Powdered sugar to thicken. ADD: Vanilla extract. SPREAD: Icing on slightly cooled brownies. SPRINKLE: Nuts over iced brownies. COVER: Until ready to serve. CUT: In squares. SERVE & ENJOY! STORE: Covered leftovers.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together (mixture will be thick) and then spread in a jelly roll pan that has been greased and floured.
• Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes, or until brownies are done.
• Frost with favorite frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line 48 mini muffin cups with paper liners. If you don't have mini muffin pans, bake them in a standard 9-by-13 pan and then cut them into small pieces after baking.
• Dump brownie mix into a large bowl. Mix water with espresso powder and stir in along with the oil and eggs. Add the cinnamon and chips stirring until just combined. Note - I used cappucino chips since that's what I had. Semi-sweet chocolate chips would work or cinnamon chips if you can find them.
• Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups. Each will be about 2/3 full. Using a cookie scoop makes this a little easier. Or transfer all the prepared batter into a 4-cup measuring cup and pour from the spout.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes. (adjust baking time if using a cake pan - see box for directions). The toothpick test will be unreliable to judge done-ness since these are gooey. At 12 minutes, press lightly on the top of one - it should have some spring to it if done. Mine did take the full 14 minutes and my oven runs hot.
• Remove to a rack and cool completely.
• Stir the cinnamon, ginger and chocolate chunks into the frosting. Dollop a generous amount on top of each cooled brownie bite. Don't be stingy!
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Grate a little more dark chocolate on top.
• Store in the fridge and hide them from the kids. ;-).
