BETTER-THAN-THE-BAG BROWNIE CRISPS



Better-than-the-Bag Brownie Crisps image

The brownie for those who like the edges, the part of the brownie where the crisp meets the chewy. Remember, the thinner the batter, the crispier the result. Adjust baking time accordingly.

1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon instant espresso powder
½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

BETTY'S CRUNCHY BROWNIE BARS



Betty's Crunchy Brownie Bars image

A goodie Betty shared with the group at our annual rughooking retreat. Recipe originally came from the back of a Duncan Hines brownie box, but she decided she liked a Betty Crocker boxed brownie mix better. Cook time does not include time to cool. I thought the oatmeal layer might detract from the brownie, but it was a wonderful compliment.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of fudginess and crunch, be sure not to overmix the brownie batter. A few lumps are okay and will contribute to the desired texture.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips.
  • To ensure the brownies are cooked evenly, use a toothpick to check the center. It should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • For an extra special treat, top the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

These delectable Crunchy Brownie Bars are an irresistible treat that combines fudgy chocolate goodness with a satisfyingly crispy crust.
