]]> Banana Brownies 002

I was sitting on the couch with my husband and best friend and said…

“Wonder what would happen if I mixed mashed bananas with a brownie mix?

My husband, “I wouldn’t be mad if you tried.”

Best friend, “Want me to go get you some brownie mix.”

I suppose they had no objections.

Enablers.

So I mixed bananas with a brownie mix and you know what????

It was amazing.

Thick, chewy, a lil spongy. Banana-y and chocolate-y!

]]> Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies 003

These brownies made me very happy. I always have brownie mix on hand. If we are being honest here, sometimes I make the brownie mix just to have SEVEAL spoonfuls of the brownie batter before it even makes it in the oven. Oh, I know what some of you are thinking…”ewwww, thats nasty, there are raw eggs in there.” What I say to that is , PAH-LEEEEZE, I have been eating raw batters in all forms(brownie,cookie,pancake,cake etc.) since I was a small child and I am still alive. Heck, when I was really little I would sneak raw hamburger meat, dip it in the softened butter my Mom kept on the counter (another gasp from the peanut gallery) and EAT IT. The thought of that makes my stomach completely queazy, but the point being, I AM STILL ALIVE.
Geeze, I went off on a tangent there, I’m sorry…
Anyhoooo, yes, this is the perfect way to doctor up a brownie mix with literally ZERO effort with  MAXIUM result.

]]> Double Chocolate Marshmallow Brownies

I am sure if you are a food blogger, you have a pretty spoiled significant other.

One night my husband opened up the “Baking Cabinet” and was just staring into it.
He was just waiting for me to notice.
I said, “What are you doing, do you want me to make you something?
With out hesitation or without even taking a breath he said,
“Brownies……. Brownies with walnuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows.”
He said it so fast like he had been plotting.
So the next morning I made him his requested brownies.
Brownies with chocolate chips, toasted walnuts and marshmallows. Pretty simple.

I took them to work and I have never seen people go so crazy over a brownie. Like I put crack in them. You know, Kinda like McDonalds does with their fries.
They look like normal brownies, but they were anything but.
I mixed the marshmallows into the batter and once baked they melted right in, you can’t even see them in the cooked brownie.
The marshmallows made the brownies sooooooooo deliciously chewy and amazing. And the added chocolate chips and toasted walnuts just put them over the top.
I used a box mix, cause I am lazy like that these days. And to be honest, I love boxed brownie mix.
So if you want people to thing you are a Brownie God, go ahead and make these!

Brownies with marshmallows, chocolate chips and toasted walnuts. The best brownies. Perfectly chewy.
Ingredients
  • 1 Box Brownie Mix, mixed to directions NOT FAMILY SIZE
  • ¾ cup chopped Walnuts,toasted
  • 1 /2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1½ cup Mini Marshmallows

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven as per directed on your brownie mix
  2. Line a 8 x 8 pan with non stick foil or spray with non stick spray.
  3. Mix your brownies according to your package directions.
  4. Fold in the walnuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows
  5. Bake for about 5 minutes longer than the package directions.
  6. Allow to completely before slicing.

Notes
I did not include in my ingredients the eggs, oil and water because every boxed brownie recipe uses different quantities. To toast walnuts, bake in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. I did not use the brownie mix that says it is “Family Size” for the 9 x 13 pan. I use the size brownie mix that is for 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pans.
