You know those days, when nothing sounds better than some chocolate. It’s almost like a need. “I need chocolate — NOW!” I don’t know about you, but chocolate is one of my best friends. It’s gotten me through some tough break-ups, some stressful mommy moments, and the worst time of every month for all women.
If there is one thing I know, I almost always have a box of brownie mix in my cupboard waiting for me if I need it. My favorite brownies are Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies. If you’re not a dark chocolate fan, I still think you would love these. They aren’t overly bitter, but quite sweet, and deeply chocolatey.
Speaking of brownies… My friend Aimee Berrett over at Like Mother Like Daughter made the BEST cookbook ever! 50 Fixes For Brownie Mixes! Brownies are pretty dang versatile and definitely easy to elevate, but Aimee did all of the test work for us in this new cookbook!
I chose to make the skillet brownies because it’s a dessert for two, and that takes me back to when my husband and I would share skillet cookies at a favorite restaurant of ours while we were dating. I also like that this recipe doesn’t use the whole box of brownie mix, so I can have this dessert night, after night, after night, until it’s all gone. Mmm-mmm!
I’ll tell you though, as I was flipping through this book, I had a really hard time deciding what to make first. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m trying to limit my sweets intake at the moment (as long as I don’t eat skillet brownies every night for a week), I probably would have made 2 or 3 of these recipes by now. I mean look at all the pretty desserts — brownie batter ice cream, brownie batter pretzel bites, cheesecake swirl brownies, chocolate covered strawberry brownies, brownie trifle cups, brownie batter muddy buddies… that’s just a few of the recipes that caught my eye!
This skillet brownie though. It’s heaven on a skillet! I used my favorite dark chocolate fudge brownie mix (Duncan Hines), added Guittard dark chocolate chips in the batter, and baked it until just set. Then I topped it with extra chocolate chips, vanilla bean ice cream, and fresh raspberries — making this dessert, out-of-this-world delicious!
We might have made this skillet brownie twice in one day. And I’m pretty sure I had more than my fair share. 😉 I should probably confess that we are having it for dessert again tonight as well. I just can’t stop! — Can’t stop! Won’t stop! It’s that good! I hope you love it too!
