…hot fudge, ice cream, & chocolate chip stuffed brownies
Yes I know…another brownie post. I do realize how many batches of these things I’ve been making lately, but I can’t help it…especially when Ms. Picky Palatethrows this in my face. What was I supposed to do? Just stare at it and drool over my computer screen? Of course not! I had to get messy and make the darn things myself!Although, it wasn’t a priority on my “to-bake” list until out of nowhere, my sister (aka miss “saltaholic), announced that she wanted a brownie… “a warm, gooey brownie.”It was the first time in my life I have ever heard her say such a thing. Immediately following, I had a massive craving for chocolate. Weird how that works. It just happened to be the perfect time and place to make these Ice Cream Sundae Brownies. Well, maybe not the best timing, considering it was 8:30 at night; but nevertheless, we hopped in the car and drove to the store to pick up a few ingredients. Ponytails, sweats, glasses and all, we were on a mission and didn’t care what anyone thought of us. Jessie even joked that we would have been the perfect candidates for TLC’s ‘What Not to Wear.’ True story. After 20 minutes spent deciding on what flavor of ice cream to buy, and another hour spent prepping and baking the brownies, we were more than ready to indulge. Let me just say that neither of us were disappointed one bit. The creamy chocolatey brownies were quite possibly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. They were thick, chewy, fudgy, and moist, surrounded with a perfectly crisp edge. Slice ‘em quick, serve ‘em warm, and top ‘em with a cold scoop of ice cream for the most satisfying treat :)
