I tried to go on a "no sugar" diet for the month of November.
It didn't last very long.
I just really believe in enjoying food and tasting delicious things. And I think I should be allowed to have a brownie if I want. As long as I can stop at just one (or two? Let's be honest. Two).
So these are not the best treat to make for the kids at church when you're trying to refrain from eating more than just one... because they are incredible and it's pretty much impossible to stop tasting them. They are exactly as delicious as they look and sound. Make them, but make sure you have enough people to share them with. :)

Ooey Gooey Peanut Butter Brownies
3/4 C sweetened condensed milk, divided (fat-free is fine)
1/4 C butter, melted and cooled (1/2 stick)
1/4 C non-fat milk
1 box devil’s food cake mix (18.25 oz)
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
cooking spray
1 7 oz jar marshmallow creme (about 1 3/4 C)
1/2 C peanut butter morsels
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With an electric mixer, combine 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, milk, butter, cake mix, and egg white. Mixture will be very thick. Spray 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Use either floured hands, or spray your hands with cooking spray in order to press it down without having it stick to your fingers. The layer will be thin. Bake for 10 minutes.
Combine 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and marshmallow creme in a bowl and combine until smooth. Stir in PB morsels. No one will tell if you stir in some extras. Spread marshmallow layer over brownie layer in pan. Carefully drop remaining brownie batter by spoonfuls over marshmallow mixture. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes. (The original recipe calls for 30 minutes, but many readers have noted that 20 minutes was perfect, and I usually only bake for about 20-25). Remove from oven and cool before cutting into squares.

Recipe from Our Best Bites, originally from Cooking Light Magazine (imagine that!).
seriously? you are killing me. and here is the truth...I can't stop at 2. Over the day, I might eat a whole row. Not cool. So totally cutting it to one treat a week is the only way to get a grip for me. Only for the month though. And maybe that will help me to get a little more self control. Can't wait to try those.
ReplyDeleteNo Annie, I am with you. I DID eat a whole row. I'm so glad I'm not alone. :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh dear. I'm in so much trouble here.
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks like tasty. It is not easy to make it, is it?
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! By the way, your chicken chili recipe is now a staple in our apartment! My husband and I love it, and we served it to guests a few times this fall. Thanks again!
