LOADED BROWNIES
1 large batch brownie batter
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup salted peanuts
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
whipping cream
Make your batch of brownie batter from your favorite recipe, one I posted years ago, or even from a box (Betty has a good low-fat boxed mix; my boys like it, if you need a testimonial). Stir in the chocolate chips and peanuts with a rubber scraper; spread in a greased 13x9 pan (I use my Pampered Chef stoneware pan). Bake at 350F: 28 to 30 minutes for convection baking, 32 to 36 minutes for conventional. Let cool. For cocoa frosting, stir together the confectioner's sugar and whipping cream; add the butter and vanilla and beat together, adding just enough whipping cream to make a spreadable, thick frosting. Hand them out with a fork, because everyone will have sticky fingers otherwise.
Ryan and Dan raved so greatly about them that my dearly beloved had to have one of these brownies, too; they all thought they were terrific. Mark said they were "sickeningly sweet," but then, that kid hates everything, so I'm not surprised. I did not have one, due to my dislike for chocolate baked goods. Just as well; I surely don't need any extra calories following me around.
Happy Monday, everyone!

The Knight would like them, but I'd rather have my chocolate dark and straight up.
Where's the milk

Brownies are definitely a favorite especially when they're loaded.
Sickeningly sweet is just how I like my desserts!
Luckily I don't bake, because I know exactly where they'd follow me.
That is not fair I am trying to get weight off at the moment that we put on while on holiday!! Have a good week Diane
Ben would love it. Too bad he's on a diet again!
I love the salted peanuts in there. I'm on a sweet/salty kick lately. They look and sound terrific.
I have a favorite brownie recipe. I should send you a copy to see how your food critics like it.

Oh those look absolutely delish!
Oh my word, Marjie. Brownies stuffed with all that goodness just have to be amazingly delicious! I'll gladly take any the kids don't want. What? They're gone, well I guess they were pretty okay then, lol...
Thanks for sharing...
