Monster Brownies

Monday, August 20, 2012

Monster Brownies are my new love. The idea is to pack as much flavor into these brownies as possible. You can pick just one or two add-ins, but I love the idea of using whatever you have on hand. These are a great way to use up that little bit of chocolate or candy you have on hand. You never have to make these the same way twice!

Summer is most assuredly the season for no-bake desserts and cold desserts. Not only is it nice to get a break from the hot oven, those cold desserts are lovely to eat when it's scorchingly hot. It's no secret that I adore the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I use it in cookies, brownies, cakes, and anything else I can manage. A strong case could be made that there is no better friendship in the dessert world. It's surely in the top 5.

Peanut butter and jelly are a long-standing comfort duo for me. I wouldn't even try to think how many pb&j sandwiches I've eaten in my lifetime. Not exactly a gourmet meal, but I'll take it just the same. These cookies take that old favorite combination and move it into dessert territory. I started with what is my most often made version of peanut butter cookies. When they're hot from the oven, a little indention is made and then later filled with your favorite jelly or preserves.

As I stared at the bag of mini peanut butter cups on my counter, my brain was churning with different ideas for what I could bake with them. Having previously used them in cheesecakes, brownies, and blondies, I ruled those out in favor of something different. After a good bit of consideration, I decided to go with this cookie recipe from the source of those peanut butter cups, King Arthur Flour. Let me tell you, that was a great decision. These aren't just chocolate cookies with peanut butter cups. No, they're chocolate-peanut butter cookies with peanut butter cups. For my fellow fans of that combination, this is the time to get excited. And, to start gathering ingredients. You're gonna want to make these.

Peanut butter cookies are one of my all-time favorite sweets. I've made many versions from unadorned to full of add-ins. As long as the flavor of the cookie is primarily peanut butter, I'll take it.

I don't have the data to back it up, but I would venture to say that peanut butter and chocolate has to be one of the most popular flavor combinations out there. Surely it's in the top ten. It's certainly in my top few. The advantage of that kind of popularity is that the baking world has no shortage of recipes for us fans to try. I don't imagine I'll exhaust the possibilities any time soon.
