Fudgy Mocha Brownies are a rich, flavorful and indulgent dessert that you'll be dreaming about for a while! This post is brought to you as part of an ongoing partnership between this blog and Best Select. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep this blog running. Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! As author of a dessert and baking cookbook, I'm sure you can imagine that I get a ton of questions about baking - about techniques, tools, and, of course, ingredients. One of those I get asked about all of the time is cocoa - specifically, the difference between unsweetened (or regular) cocoa powder … [Read more...]
Brownie Bites with Peanut Butter Frosting
Brownie Bites with Peanut Butter Frosting are a chocolate peanut butter lover's dream come true! I recently came to an awful realization. I've been a horribly neglectful blogger. I am sorry. Really, I am. But this blog is almost a year and a half old, and to date, I only have one brownie recipe posted. Two, if you count my brownie pies. But clearly that isn't enough. I mean, is there even such a thing as "enough" brownies? I don't think so either. I realized this as I was going to sleep late on Saturday night. (And if you stalk my Instagram feed, you know that was about a million o'clock, when most of you were probably near waking up.) Anyway, I rectified the situation less … [Read more...]
Pecan Pie Topped Mini Fudge Brownie Pies
Let's talk about decisions, shall we? I don't know about you, but I for one, hate making them. I'm talking about literally the smallest decisions there are. Like in the ice cream store when they ask if I want chocolate, vanilla or mixed. Um, so I know I don't want plain vanilla; my love of chocolate is just too strong. But as between chocolate or mixed...I don't know! How should I decide? And when the decisions get bigger, oy. Don't get me started. I hate decisions. That's why this dessert is so darn awesome! Say you just finished a humongous meal, like, the biggest one of the year. It's time for dessert, and you don't have much room. Imagine choosing between a fudgey chocolatey dessert … [Read more...]
S’mores Brownie Bites
A couple of weeks ago, an idea popped into my head. S'mores. In a brownie. Yum. Yeah, I can be simple that way. My idea was simple: keep the original format of the smore, but swap out the chocolate for some rick gooey brownies. So I googled it and googled it, but I couldn't find anything like that. Sure, folks made smores brownies, but they usually entailed a mix of graham crackers and marshmallow on top of a brownie. That isn't what I am looking for. So I made my own version. In the interest of full disclosure, it took me a couple of tries to get the recipe perfect enough for my liking. I did it though. So effectively that my coworkers all get this dreamy look in their eyes when they think … [Read more...]
