Healthy ~~ Absolutely NOT

Delicious ~~ Absolutely YES

If people think brownies are just some same old dessert, these brownies will knock them out of the ball park. Oh my goodness. Can brownies be sent from Heaven. I believe so. AND these are a snap to make. 

DISCLAIMER: 

You will not lose weight eating these brownies

You may get a sugar buzz eating these brownies

And though there are several food groups involved in these brownies, they do not fit any meal plan

What you will find though, these sinfully delicious brownies may make your spouse love you more, your friends will want to hang out with you more and they will plain and simple, bring a smile to your face as you eat them. I like a lot of different sweets, but these are just really good. These are a current favorite. 

Heavenly Brownies

These nuggets of love contain a brownie on the bottom, marshmallow middle and a cocoa krispies, chocolate, peanut butter topping. WOW... a combo platter to make anyone smile. This recipe makes an 8 x 8 pan, for a regular family or friends, this is good. If you were making them for a tray or large group, please double the recipe and use a 9 x 13 pan.

Heavenly Brownies

Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips (divided - 1/2 cup & 1 cup)
20 large marshmallows
1/2 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup cocoa krispies

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8 x 8 pan with tin foil and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add the butter and the unsweetened chocolate. Place in microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted. Check and stir after 1 minute. Remove from microwave, stir in sugar. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and flour and mix together. Batter will be thick, stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

Spread batter into pan and bake for 22 minutes. The brownies will not be completely done, but remove from the oven and place the marshmallows on top. Return back to the oven and bake for another 6 minutes. The marshmallows will be soft and smashable. Spread the marshmallows over the brownies.

As your brownies start to cool, using the same bowl, gently melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir together until melted, add cocoa krispies and spread over the brownies. Let the chocolate layer harden before cutting.

Super Corn flake Cookies

Throw everything in the bowl, Mix together and Refrigerate. And then Bake. These cookies are a mix of amazing tastes. Amp'd up cornflakes, with mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Sweet, soft, gooey, crunchy, and chocolate. With Two sticks of Butter. What more could you want from life. These cookies are spreaders, just so you are aware. Not perfect little drops of dough. But their taste is just divine.

This recipe comes with two steps. Before you can proceed with the cookies,  you need to make the super Corn Flakes. To make this part of the recipe, it only takes a few minutes.You will have remaining Corn Flake mixture left over. I really think there are loads of uses for it. Throw it into another cookie. I used it a part of a yogurt parfait. Added a different dimension to my regular yogurt.

Corn Flake Crunch
Ingredients
5 cups cornflakes
1/2 cup instant milk powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
9 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Heat oven to 275 degrees
In a medium bowl, place cornflakes and crush them with your hands. Add milk powder, sugar and salt. Toss to mix. Add the melted butter and toss to coat. This will create small clusters.
Spread mixture on Silpat or Parchment paper on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. They will look toasty and smell buttery. Remove from oven
Let the corn flake mixture cool completely before adding to the recipe or storing.

Corn Flake Cookies
adapted slightly from margaretinthecity.wordpress.com
Ingredients
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) butter, room temp
1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Corn Flake Crunch
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1 1/4 cup mini marshmallows

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpat or parchment paper. Set aside
Combine butter and sugars in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream together for 3 minutes on medium high. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for 7-8 minutes. VERY important. DO

Reduce speed to low add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides. Add remaining ingredients and mix in by hand. ~~Place dough in the Refrigerator. I know, but if you want spreader cookies all your sheet, this is important. These are soft anyway.~~

Scoop out cookie dough. If you usually have 12 cookies on a sheet, on place 10. Bake for about 12 -13 minutes. They will puff, crackle and spread. Cool cookies for 5 minutes on the sheet pan before moving. Cool completely on a wire rack.

This dough was heavenly. I really try not to eat cookie dough. But I could not resist.

The melding of Corn flakes, Chocolate chips and Marshmallows. Oh so good

Edges are brown and centers are pale. Melting in your mouth
