Sometimes it is fun to just try something and see what happens… That is how this came to be a thing. I know it isn’t necessarily original but I just winged it to see what would happen and it worked great. My family and our company absolutely loved it. It is a Dark Chocolate Brownie with a layer of No-Flour Peanut Butter cookie in it. I cooked it in a Cast Iron Loaf pan so, obviously, the time and temperature for the brownie had to be adjusted to account for the shape and surface area. When sliced like a loaf of bread, everyone gets an edge piece FOR THE WIN!
Ingredients:
- Brownie
- 1 Cup Real Butter (Seriously, it can’t be margarine)
- 8 Oz. Dark Unsweetened Chocolate
- 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoon Vanilla
- 3 whole Large Eggs
- 1-1/4 Cup Flour
- Cookie
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter ( I had creamy but I bet crunchy would be wonderful!)
Method:
- Brownie
- Set oven to 325 degrees (It will be ready by the time you get everything else ready)
- Grease or butter and flour your CI Loaf Pan
(parchment paper on the bottom and Baker’s Joy works great as well)
- In #8 Cast Iron Skillet
melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth
- Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit
- Add the eggs whisking them in, one at a time
- Cookie
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients
- form into the rough shape of your loaf pan
(parchment paper on the bottom and Baker’s Joy works great as well)
melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth
- Putting it together
- Pour approximately 1/2 of the brownie batter into the CI Loaf Pan
- gently place the peanut butter cookie on top of the brownie batter
- Cover the cookie with the remaining brownie batter
- Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours (It is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean)
- Let cool 12 minutes on a cooling rack
- Tilt the loaf pan to each side for one minute each (It will always pop right out this way with no knife needed)
- Turn out onto a cutting board or platter
- Let it rest for 10 minutes more
- Slice and enjoy!
- Pour approximately 1/2 of the brownie batter into the CI Loaf Pan
