Well this recipe turned out nothing as I had planned..but I think BETTER! The recipe started out to be German Chocolate Sandwich Cookies. I decided to take a shortcut and use a cake mix to make the chocolate cookies (simple recipe on blog already). Looked in pantry and NO chocolate cake mix - rare event! I then thought well maybe I could use a brownie mix? I always use the Costco brownie mix (Ghiradelli) Thankfully I had one bag left in the box.
I then, what I think, is a brilliant idea - why have I never thought of this? Why not make the brownies in a muffin tin with the foil liners? PERFECT! I followed the recipe on the box and used my ice cream scoop to fill the cupcake liners. The one recipe made 12 "cupcakes". Wasn't sure how much time it would take, so I decided to do 20 mins - PERFECT!
We have some nut allergies in our house, so I decided to make the German Chocolate Icing without nuts and then separate it into 2. I decided to serve the Brownie Cakes plain, and then 2 dishes with the icing - one with pecans, one without. That way the guest could put on as much as they wanted :)
These are so DELISH, that the ones that ate these, thought they were so much better than a cookie would have been! I hope you will try them! ENJOY ♥
