These Monster Brownies taste like what I would imagine if a brownie and a monster cookie had a love child, but only better.
Last night at church our young women’s group had a fundraiser, a variety show and baked goods auction. When I found out about this event a few weeks ago, I immediately thought of Monster Magic Cookie Bars, by Something Swanky. I knew I wanted to do some variation of this dessert, but it wasn’t until last week that I decided it would be a brownie based treat. Oh.me.oh.my. You are going to want to make these Monster Brownies for sure.
If I was asked to describe this concoction I would say, “They’re like if a brownie and a monster cookie had a love child, only better.” That is of course if sweets could marry and have delicious offspring of their own. I guess the point I am trying to get across it that I loved theses brownies! They are sweet, moist, crunchy, satisfying morsels of make oneself feel guilty for wanting to eat the whole pan kind of good. Whether you are searching for a brownie a little out of the ordinary or just in need of some chocolate, I highly recommend making these soon. You can switch up the topping in infinite combinations to suit your mood, enjoy and happy baking!
