Brownie Doctor: York Brownies

Well...hello there. *sidles into view* Sorry for the unintentional month-long hiatus. We had the best intentions of keeping up posting during December, but then the dreaded Finals Season descended upon us and I barely saw the light of day for about 10 days straight. This year was my most intensive finals season yet (so much for senior slacking), and I barely had time to eat, sleep, and hygiene, let alone bake and photograph tasty treats (unfortunately). I did, however, manage to whip these up before the full brunt of finals hit. They sustained me a few days into the madness, then disappeared about the same time as my sanity*. I suspect a correlation.

*Seriously, ask my friends - I spent about a week in a state of constantly teetering on the edge of delirium. In fact, they'd probably say I wasn't even teetering but had already crossed the line.

Brownie Doctor: Mound Bar Brownies

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

We went to a family friend's house the other night, and, as usual, I was commissioned to prepare a dessert to bring to them. After much debate over the kind of brownie, and with the help of my dad in coming up with the idea, we settled on a new brownie doctor recipe.
My dad noticed, and I agree, that coconut chocolate is delicious together, but never made very frequently. So I decided to come up with a recipe that would replicate Mound bars. (Not Almond Joys. No one likes those.) And they were delicious.

The Brownie Doctor: Midnight Snack Brownies

I saw my sister's post from the other day about the Brownie Doctor book that should be made, and I thought it was a stroke of sheer brilliance, so I decided to come up with a doctored-up recipe myself.

I hope that you've tried Ben and Jerry's Midnight Snack ice cream, but in the event that you haven't, it is, and I quote from the carton, "Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a Salty Caramel Swirl and Fudge Covered Potato Chip Clusters." It was my basic inspiration for these brownies, which are simple brownies from a box, with potato chips, caramel bugles, mini Reese's, dark chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips added in. So basically, if you're looking for a simple word to sum it up: delicious. If someone you don't like talking to asks you what you're making, you can just give them the one worded response, "Deliciousness." and let it be done at that.

Cookie? Brownie? Brookie? Crownie?

So I was browsing FoodGawker, as I often do, looking for recipes that involve brownie mix, and I stumbled across this beautiful invention: cookie dough with brownie batter mixed in to make some sort of hybrid brownie cookie. Yes, cookie dough. With brownies batter. A combination of two of the most classic and delicious baked goods ever. And yes, if you are having a David After the Dentist "Is this real life?" moment, they are real life. And I made them. And they were delicious.
