You know you love them.
I have a thing for them. I just can't resist! And don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about when I say that licking the batter bowl is almost the. best. part. Ok, so it is.
I can remember my parents getting together with their friends when I was younger- one couple in particular- and there would always be brownies. My friend Jessica and I could count on it.!
I recently picked up a new brownie mix though. I found it at Tom Thumb and since I love their pancake mix, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Can you believe this mix is normally about $8?? Eek. Well, it was on SALE so I knew I had to nab it! (is it knab?)
Big Bear Brownies. Whole Wheat & Double Chocolate. Sounds good to me!!!
Per the instructions, I added: 1/2 stick of melted butter + 1/4 c. of applesauce (you can use all butter or all applesauce), 2 T. oil, 2 T. water, and 2 eggs. Mix, mix, mix.
I plopped that yumminess into an 8x8 pan and yeah. Licked the bowl. Not really...I used a spoon. Give me a little credit :>

I let 'em cool before I dug in tasted one.
Oh my gosh ya'll. These are freakin fantastic.! I didn't know at first, but there are chocolate chips inside too! (Thus the double chocolate) They don't melt during cooking so you get to bite into a nice solid chip nestled in soft fudgy brownie. Ahhh. Too good for words.
But really, I like this mix! Yes, it's 5x what you'll pay for Duncan Hines but listen to the ingredients:
crystallized cane juice, 100% whole grain wheat flour, all natural dark chocolate chips, natural cocoa, natural vanilla, salt, leavening, vital wheat gluten
Natural brownies! Or at least pretty darn close. I think they have just gotten better since Sunday too. They taste like I said, natural-ish, and very satisfying. They don't have that fake SUGARY makes you want to eat the whole pan taste. Give 'em a try!
After I made brownies on Sunday, I decided to give myself a mani/pedi. Cheaper than the salon although quite the time consumer.
What's better than chocolate brownies & chocolate nails? :>
I think nothing.
