Sweet & Salty Brownies

February 29, 2012 By bigfatbaker 11 Comments

Brownies are by far the best dessert for a chocoholic.

I know. How dare I make such a bold statement.

But, it is true. Brownies = chocolate bliss.

Brownies can be dressed up with fancy salts, a layer of ganache, even your favorite buttercream.

Over the summer I made a batch of ridiculous brownies. I called them brownie cookie caramel bars, but they are now known as slutty brownies.

I thought those were the best brownies ever. As good as they are, it’s like eating a brick.

These sweet and salty brownies are balanced. Salty caramel layered into a fudgey brownie batter creates a chewy chocolate bliss.

Enjoy with a glass of cold milk, a cup of coffee, or do like I do and mix brownie chunks into some ice cream!

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Bars {Guest Post by Greens and Chocolate}

January 31, 2012 By bigfatbaker 23 Comments

Hello! Today I have Taylor from Greens and Chocolate guesting posting for me! You can find her on Twitter @greenschocolate – enjoy!

When I saw that Erin was looking for a guest blogger, I jumped at the opportunity.

However, when taking more time to think about what I would share I have to admit, I was a stumped. I mean, Erin is so creative when it comes to her baking and every single thing makes my mouth water. How could I ever make something that would interest her readers as much as the treats she makes?!

Well, I think I’ve done it. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I turned to a recipe that I made last Valentine’s Day that was red, festive, and downright delicious!

I am a huge fan of everything red velvet and these bars are no exception. [Read more...]

Brownie Cookie Caramel Bars

September 18, 2011 By bigfatbaker 17 Comments

A few months ago, when I was clicking through the blog hop on a Secret Recipe Club reveal day, I stumbled upon this decedent dessert. The recipe I saw was on A Bountiful Kitchen but is originally seen on Betcha Can’t Eat Just One. I bow my head to both of these ladies for sharing this amazing creation with the food world.

I stopped and stared at the first picture… It had a layers upon layers of deliciousness. Chocolate chip cookie dough topped with Oreo’s, caramel sauce and brownie batter baked in to a bar of perfection? Sign me up! There isn’t much more you can ask for from a dessert.

This recipe was on my mind for weeks. I was craving every component the recipe had to offer. And finally I caved. I rushed home from a long day a work and whipped up a huge pan of the bars.

Lucky for us, the recipe is super simple. Cookie dough, store bought caramel, Oreo’s, and brownie batter. You could use mixes instead of making your cookie dough and brownie batter, but we all know it’s not the same! Either way I promise you won’t be disappointed. [Read more...]

The Best Brownie Ever

December 7, 2010 By bigfatbaker 1 Comment

Last week I was in desperate need of some chocolate. And I wasn’t interested in a candy bar…I was looking for something rich, chewy, comforting, and packing a chocolate punch.

Luckily, I logged onto Foodbuzz that day! I found a recipe for one of the best brownies ever. I mean ever ever. You will not find a better brownie. These have everything you need, and more.

You can make them as is, add a frosting on top (like I did), swirl some cream cheese into them to make cream cheese brownies, add orange or peppermint extract for a little festivity fun…see what I mean? Endless.

Did I mention you won’t find an easier recipe for brownies this good? This recipe only call for 5 ingredients. And you hardly make any mess, which is definitely a plus. [Read more...]

Boxed Brownies – BFB’s Way

September 29, 2010 By bigfatbaker 2 Comments

As you all know, I am all for making my baked goods from scratch. But sometimes box mixes can be just as delicious.

This time I switched some things up. I decided to make the boxed mix a bit more interesting.

I added a mashed organic banana, chopped walnuts, swapped out organic virgin coconut oil for the vegetable oil, and sprinkled some chocolate chips on top.

I decided to try coconut oil in brownies because in my mind chocolate and coconut = Mounds like flavor. Unfortunately (or fortunately for those that don’t like coconut!) the coconut oil doesn’t add any coconut flavor to the brownies.

I still like to use the coconut oil over vegetable oil in my brownies. Coconut oil has way more health benefits then the traditional vegetable oil.

The little changes I made to the boxed mix turned out wonderfully. The brownie was light, but still fudgey. And it definitely felt like a sweet treat!

You can taste the banana but it is not an overwhelming banana flavor. And I thought the walnuts added a much needed texture change. And the chocolate chips are a must!
