Evil, Evil, Evil Brownies!

I can't post this recipe on my other blog because, well, it is not conducive to weight loss in any way. My philosophy is don't deny yourself and make choices. Like I choose to have a brownie, not emotional eating an entire pan out of control. These brownies paralyze your power to say "No thanks, I am good with just one"

Praline Brookies

Ingredients

1 box brownie mix (plus the eggs, veggie oil and water)

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans (which I leave out because pecans are icky)
1/2 tsp vanilla

1 roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

1. Heat oven to 350 and Pam-up a 13x9 baking pan. Prepare your brownie mix as directed on the box. Spread batter evenly in pan. Lick spoon and bowl clean. Bake 25 min.

2. While that is in the oven, in a saucepan heat butter, milk, sugars, pecans and vanilla to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside until brownies are baked.

3. Pull brownies out of oven and promptly pour praline mixture over them. Cut the cookie dough into 16 slices and lay them on top in 3 rows of 5 slices each and then use the last slice to fill in the spaces. (Ya, whatever, crumble the cookie dough on top and try not to squish the half baked brownies)

4. Stick the pan back in the oven for another 23 -28 minutes. Now, lick the praline spoon and pan clean. Once the ooey gooey goodness is done let it cool 2 hours (or 5 minutes).

This recipe came out of a fantastic cookie and bar book called Best of the Pillsbury Bake-Off Cookies & Bars
