Oh Sweet Holy Mother of Chocolate Deliciousness, this dessert right here.

Brownie. Batter. Dip.

Let that sink in for a second.

Have you ever enjoyed licking a bowl of chocolate cake batter or brownie batter?

Have you ever wished that there was just a little bit more velvety batter on the spoon?

Have you ever wished you could have the whole bowl of batter?

Have you ever wished you could sit in a tub of cake batter while surfing the internet?

Do you like brownies?

Do you like cake?

Do you like chocolate?

(If you don’t like cake batter or chocolate, my heart goes out to you and whatever childhood trauma you have you suffered that left you so sad and without a soul.)

Do you like to be happy?

Do you like to make others happy?

Do you like puppies?

Do you like sex?

If the answer to any one of the above is yes then you have to try this recipe. At least once.

Brownie. Batter. Dip.

A bowl of brownie batter.

And you can put stuff in it if you like!! I added chopped snickers bar, because it’s his favourite.  I’m still giddy with happiness about this.  Such a fun and delicious desert. I served it with shortbread cookies and strawberries.

You’ll want to invite friends over just so you can make this!

ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, plus more if you want a firmer consistency
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk

instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, whisk together cream cheese and butter.
  2. Add 2 cups of powered sugar, 1 cup a time, add 1 tbsp milk
  3. Add flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar and 1 tbsp of milk if needed.
  4. Whisk until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar and milk until you have your preferred consistency.

O.M.G! Chips!

Next time I made this we tried it with chips.  I LOVED it with potato chips. It was so good that I was expecting a knock on the door and at any moment someone would confiscate it because chips and brownie dip was so good its illegal.

Eat responsibly.

Friends don’t let friends eat brownie batter dip by themselves.

Chocolate Crunchies

crunchies 2

I was in the mood for something chocolatey and crunchy so I created a chocolate version of my Oat Crunchy Bars

Ingredients

2 cups of Oats
1/2 cup Flour (or substitute)
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup brown sugar (or sugar substitute, I used 1/4 cup combo of stevia and agave)
1 cup Coconut
1/2 cup of nuts (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 cup Butter, melted
2 Tbs Golden Syrup or honey
1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

Instructions

1. Mix flour, oats, coconut and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl. (add nuts if using)
2. Melt the butter, add Golden Syrup (or honey)
3. Pour the butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir together by hand.
4. Press into baking pan.
5. Bake for 15 mins.
6. Allow to cool in pan before cutting.

If you don’t mind extra sugar and fat, you can spread some with chocolate. Just add a few chocolate chips when you take them out of the oven, after a minute or two spread melted chocolate chips. They remind me of chocolate sandwich cookies from my childhood called Romany Creams. Which pretty much is the South African kid’s Oreo cookie.
