My daughter and I are in a production of Willy Wonka in December. My daughter is an Oompa Loompa and I am Grandma Josephine. Today we had a fundraiser for the performance - a "Candy Extravaganza". There were lots of games, candy, baskets of goodies, and baked goods. As I watched the baked goods go out the door, it made me really want to go home and do some baking of my own.
I stopped at the store on the way home and browsed the aisles until I decided on just the right ingredients. I bought a dark chocolate fudge brownie mix, dark chocolate chips, and white cookie icing.
Here's what I did.....I combined 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, 3/4 of a cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 of a cup of packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 eggs and 2 cups of dark chocolate chips.
Once mixed, I pressed the mixture into a greased jelly roll pan.
Then I mixed the dark chocolate brownie mix with 2 eggs, 1/4 of cup of water, 1/2 cup of oil.
I poured the brownie mixture over the top of the cookie dough mixture.
I baked my brownie/cookie mixture in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes - until the brownie mixture was set.
I thought I'd put a little Halloween spin on things and I used the cooking icing to make little spiderwebs. I made circles with the icing and then I dragged a toothpick through the circles. That didn't work too great so then I just drew the spiderweb. That didn't work too great either. (Next time I will try white frosting.)
They still taste wonderful with or without the "spiderwebs"!
