My cookie butter craze is has now taken me down a chocolatey path that I know Angel is very happy about.
As much as she enjoys pumpkin, she has a chocolate heart, or just an intense love of chocolate. I wanted to not only do the cookie butter frosting, but have some of that delicious flavor in the brownie itself. Upon tasting my concoction, I realized it was a very good decision! I thought the cupcake pan would be a fun way to deliver a brownie since mostly they’re always in a 8X8 or 9X13 pan. The trouble was I must have a cheap pan because even though I greased that puppy well I had to use a knife and coax each one out of the pan. Much to my sadness, I lost 3 in the conflict, but 9 came out mostly unscathed. One of the tarnished brownies had to be eaten and I graciously took it out of its misery. When the brownie cupcakes had cooled I made the frosting and knew this would be the perfect pairing for my cookie butter craze. Again, be very, very careful when tasting that frosting. Just one taste is hardly enough.
