there is no number of sprinkles that is going to make me okay with eating the eyes of a deer. they don't even have a distinct flavor; it's all texture, so making brownies from them is just cruelty for no reason. somewhere there are a lot of blind deer all because you watched too much anthony bourdain.
These are really good and take minimal additional effort from baking box (or your favorite scratch recipe) brownies. We prefer Ghiradelli brownies, so that's what I used (and used an 8X8 glass pan since they are a smaller yield). I halved the PB and chocolate toppings to make up for the smaller pan. I wasn't sold on the PB when I licked the beaters, but it really works on the brownies. I'm super lazy, so I nuked the chocolate chips and butter for 45 seconds before pouring them over the PB layer. I'll definitely make these again! THANKS for the recipe!
These were a HUGE hit at our block party! I have made them twice in 2 weeks. They are extremely rich, but crazy good. I made them exactly as written.
These were easy to make and were absolutely delicious. I didn't change a thing.
This was the Recipe Group choice for July 2015 and I am a bit late in preparing it. We used the "Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge brownie" mix.(18.2 ounce box). There is no way the three of could consume the whole recipe (or at least we shouldn't) so I cut the recipe in half. I used a kitchen scale to measure half of the mix accurately. We used an 8x8 glass pan. It was fun to make and very good. I have to admit that we altered the last step. Instead of melting the chocolate chips with butter, we omitted the butter and sprinkled the un-melted milk chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter mixture. TIP-Before you measure the peanut butter, spray the measuring cup with baking spray or wipe the butter wrapper inside the cup so the peanut butter slides out easier. Works for us. As other's mentioned, it is very rich. But we'll be making it again. Thanks for the recipe!
I made these for opening day of the OSU Buckeyes football season. They were a big hit. My changes- I put my butter and Peanut butter in a bowl and microwaved on medium for 1 minute tile the PB was softened and then mixed the confectioners sugar and 1 TBSPN of Vanilla in and beat. I've made buckeye balls and this is how I do them also.
I made a double batch! Just doubled everything and used my quarter-sheet-cake pan... took most of them to work, everybody loved them. The only "negative" is that once you eat one, you can't stop eating them...!
A little goes a long way with these brownies as they are super rich and sweet! I followed the recipe exactly using a 9/13 pan. We liked them but the consensus was that they were a little too sweet for our liking. Maybe next time I will cut back on the powdered sugar. Thanks for sharing your recipe Cindy Yonkman!
My little sisters say this is their new favorite recipe. The rest of my family thought it was a little too sweet but they want me to make it again.
