Biscoff Smores Brownies

Pin It I've been seeing a lot of recipes with Biscoff Spread in them lately and I've been intrigued.  I didn't find it in my local supermarket and to be honest I didn't put much effort into searching for it anywhere else.  Then last weekend I went to a little Italian grocery store and they had it.  As soon as I saw it I knew I had to buy it.  My sister-in-law was also equally amused.  The rest of my family thought we were crazy for buying a spread that tastes like cookies.
Well they quickly changed their tune when I brought these brownies to our Labor Day BBQ.  These are addicting.  While they are quite rich, gooey and sweet, you cannot eat just one.  In a word: AMAZING!  I can't wait to find new recipes to use with the remainder of my Biscoff Spread!

Oreo Brownies

Pin It I'm working at a summer camp for gifted children during the month of July.  I'm super busy and exhausted at the end of each day which explains my lack of posting recently.  (I will try to get better).  Anyway, we always have snacks in the kitchen area of camp for all of the teachers and assistants.  I made these to share and they were inhaled by lunchtime.  Everyone kept asking for the recipe and it's so easy it's almost embarrassing.  I will definitely be making these again.

Check out Weekend Potluck for some amazing recipes! Also head over to Strut Your Stuff Link Party for some great recipes and craft ideas.

Rocky Road Brownies

Pin It Bring your napkins when you make these brownies!  They are ooey, gooey and so delicious.  These would be great for a BBQ or work potluck.  I cheated and used a box brownie mix, but the toppings make these gems look like they took you all day.

I'm participating in Weekend Potluck again this week.  Check out all of the great links!

Rocky Road Brownies
1 box brownie mix (and all ingredients needed to prepare them)
1/2 cup almonds, chopped
1 bag mini marshmallows

Frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp milk (to get a smooth consistency)

1. Make brownies according the package.  Stir in almonds before baking.
2. When brownies have about 5 minutes left of baking, sprinkle entire bag of marshmallows on top of brownies and place in the oven for the remainder of the baking time.
3. Allow brownies to cool slightly.
4. Meanwhile, make frosting.  Beat butter until smooth.  Mix in powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla.  Add milk to make the frosting smooth. 
5. Pour frosting over the marshmallow.  Allow to cool completely to avoid very messy brownies with melted frosting.
