Brownie Ingredients

3 Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnuts
1/2 cup White Sugar
2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
2 tablespoons Water
1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Brownie Doughnut Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Combine milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until warm. Sift confectioners’ sugar into milk mixture. Whisk slowly, until well combined. Remove the glaze from the heat and set over a bowl of warm water.

 

Brownie Recipe Characteristics

  • Fudge Brownie
  • Semi Sweet Chocolate
  • Easy to Bake

 

 

Recipe Steps

Step 1 – Add Sugar and water into a sauce pan. Warm on Med Low heat to start melting the sugar. As the water heats up add the butter. Stir so the mixture does not burn. If it starts to boil large bubble turn down heat. We want a smooth even heat to melt the sugar but not to get the mixture too hot. (If it were to get too hot the eggs would cook the instant we added them.) Remove from the heat.

Step 2 – Slowly add chocolate chips to sugar, water and butter mix. Stir the chips until they melt.

 

Once all the chips have been added and melted proceed to step 3.


Step 3 – Add the eggs to the melted chocolate. Gently stir the mixture until the eggs have mixed well. Once the eggs have been mixed add the Vanilla Extract.

 

Step 4 – Add the Baking Soda and Salt then stir. Next add the All-Purpose Flour. I add half the flour then stir then add the rest. Gently stir until the brownie batter is brown again..

 

Step 5 GET The Doughnuts!!!!!!

Step 5 – Buy a dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.  3 will be used in the recipe and the other 9 are for you to eat.  :)  When I need to buy the doughnuts a day in advance I store them in freezer zip lock bag to keep fresh.

Step 6  Eat a Doughnut

 

Step 7  Chop up 3 Krispy Kreme doughnuts into small pieces.

 


Step 8  Stir chopped doughnuts into brownie batter.

Step 9 - Pour mixture into a greased 8×8 inch square pan. Place in a 325 degree preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies set up. Do not over bake this recipe!

Use the toothpick test to check for doneness. If the wooden toothpick comes out still looking wet and gooey, the brownies are not done yet.

 


Cool in pan and cut into squares. Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies to avoid the jagged edges.

Lastly we can not forget the Donut Glaze!!!

Ingredients
• 250g unsalted butter
• 200g dark Fairtrade chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken up
• optional: 75g dried sour cherries
• optional: 50g chopped nuts
• 80g cocoa powder, sifted
• 65g plain flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 360g caster sugar
• 4 large free-range or organic eggs
• optional: zest of 1 orange
• optional: 250ml crème fraîche
This great little recipe is taken from my Little Book Of Big Treats which I’ve put together exclusively for Comic Relief. All you have to do is bake a few of these and sell them to your friends, family, colleagues or schoolmates and you’ll have raised an extra few quid for Comic Relief and their brilliant causes. What could be easier?

Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Line a 25cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper. In a large bowl over some simmering water, melt the butter and the chocolate and mix until smooth. Add the cherries and nuts, if you’re using them, and stir together. In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and sugar, then add this to the chocolate, cherry and nut mixture. Stir together well. Beat the eggs and mix in until you have a silky consistency.

Pour your brownie mix into the baking tray, and place in the oven for around 25 minutes. You don’t want to overcook them so, unlike cakes, you don’t want a skewer to come out all clean. The brownies should be slightly springy on the outside but still gooey in the middle. Allow to cool in the tray, then carefully transfer to a large chopping board and cut into chunky squares. These make a fantastic dessert served with a dollop of crème fraîche mixed with some orange zest.

4 squares unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter
2-1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
1-1/4 cups flour
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9-inch aluminum foil baking pan.
Read through this recipe entirely before you begin, as you will need to divide ingredients into separate batters in order to create two layers.

Microwave together the chocolate and butter on high setting 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the sugar and blend well. Stir in 4 eggs and 1 cup of flour. Spread this mixture in the greased pan.

Beat cream cheese, gradually adding remaining ingredients. Combine well.

Spoon second mixture over batter already in pan. Swirl together lightly stirring with knife to create a marble-like pattern. Bake in Preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until toothpick has grainy fudge bits but is not clean, like in a cake. Be careful not to overbake.
