Sweet Tooth Part 2: “Kitchen Sink” Brownies

 

Yes… I made two batches of brownies, because I just couldn’t decide.  And these brownies pretty well epitomize the way I was feeling the day I made them—since I couldn’t decide what type of brownies to make.  Smore’s?  Rocky Road?  Toasted Coconut? 

Heck---let’s just put it ALL in there!

Ingredients:

1 box of brownie mix, prepared according to box directions, but replace the oil with applesauce.

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped nuts (we used some of the sweet & spicy pecans made a few weeks ago)

1/2 cup mini marshmallows

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (because you can never have too much chocolate).

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly spray an 8x11 glass pan with butter flavored cooking spray.

Pour batter into the prepared pan, then pour the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and 3/4 cup of the coconut over the batter.  Swirl with a knife to work them down into the batter.  Leave out the marshmallows for now.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Remove from the oven & sprinkle the top with the remaining coconut, & spread the marshmallows across the top.  (Try to keep the marshmallows away from the edges of the pan—it’ll save you a lot of headache when it comes to cleaning the pan later.)

Switch your oven over to Broil & place the pan back in the oven on the top rack.  Broil for 1-2 minutes—watch it carefully so the marshmallows don’t burn.

Remove from the oven & let cool.  The marshmallows will be a pain to cut while warm, so try spreading a little cooking spray on the knife when you start dividing them up.
