Flufffer-nutter brownies

One of the first shows on the Food Network I absolutely loved was 30 Minute Meals. I still love it! I have found such great inspiration and joy in the kitchen from watching Rachel Ray. I give her a lot of credit to making me excited about food and creating tasty things to eat. She created a dessert recipe that is absolutely one of my favorite things to make, and eat! It's simple and creative. While I love a simple, chocolatey brownie, sometimes you have to reinvent things.

Here's what you'll need:
1 box of your favorite brownie mix (I like Betty Crocker)
1 cup Reese's peanut butter chips
1 cup mini marshmallows

In a mixing bowl prepare the brownie mix as directed on the package. Stir in the peanut butter chips. Bake according to package directions. In the last 5 minutes of baking take the brownies out of the oven and top with the marshmallows. Pop them back into the oven to finish. Let them cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
When you do cut them make sure you spray your knife with cooking spray so the marshmallow doesn't stick to it.
For this particular batch I added chocolate frosting which I spread over top the marshmallows. I normally don't but it was sooo good! You can add it if you like.

I am not a girl scout...

But they make great cookies. If you like girl scout cookies you will LOVE my brownies. They're my better version of the samoa cookies.

Rich, sinful chocolate...
Gooey, melt in your mouth caramel...
Exotic, sweet, heavenly coconut...
Aaahhh....

Yes these brownies will make you feel like your flying on a puffy, succulent, chocolate cloud of happiness! They are sooooo good! I could eat the whole batch!

All you need:

1 box of your fave brownie mix. You can go triple chocolate fudge or original just try to stay away from nuts and other odds mixings.
10-15 melted caramel candies
1/4 cup of sweetened flaked coconut.
1 big sweet tooth!

Pre-heat your oven and bake brownies according to the directions on the box.

In a skillet evenly disperse the coconut and place over a medium heat. 



Lightly toast. 


WATCH the coconut. All you need is a few minutes. You do not want to burn it. It will become aromatic and turn slightly golden.
When the brownies come out of the oven place on a cooling rack. 


Drizzle with melted caramel. Be generous. 


Then sprinkle with toasted coconut. Let cool completely.
