Bready or Not: Cake Mix Rolo Brownies with Cookie Dough and Glaze
I do a lot of stuff from scratch, but I'm a rebel. I always keep a stack of cake mix boxes in the pantry.
The thing I love about cake mix is that it's easy to dress up. Mix out ingredients. Add a layer or two. Go crazy. In my case, going crazy means using up a bag of Rolos, adding egg-free cookie dough, and topping it off with chocolate. Because hey, that's the way I roll.
You can use any type of chocolate cake mix with this recipe. I did devil's food. You can use any kind of chocolate candy bar or just use chocolate chips. This is the sort of recipe you can work on in bursts so it doesn't take long over all.
The other nice thing? It tastes gooooooood.
Cake Mix Rolo Brownies with Cookie Dough and Glaze
Brownie Layer from Patti Takes the Cake
Cookie Dough recipe doubled from The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook
Cake Mix Brownie Crust
1 chocolate cake mix (any kind)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
1 egg
3/4 cup chopped Rolos (or other candy or chocolate chips)
1) Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line a 13x9 pan with aluminum foil and then apply nonstick spray.
2) Combined all of the ingredients in a bowl. Pour into pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
3) Let the brownies cool completely. If needed, put in the fridge for a while.
Cookie Dough Layer
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup milk or cream (almondmilk works)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped Rolos (or other candy or chocolate chips)
1) Blend together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla until smooth.
2) Add the dry ingredients until just mixed, then add the chopped candy or chocolate chips.
3) Pour dough over the cool brownie layer and smooth out as much as possible. Place the dish in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour. (Oh yeah, notice there are no eggs. Feel free to lick the bowl clean!)
Chocolate Glaze
7 ounces chocolate
4 Tb (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1) In a double boiler or a microwave bowl, melt together the two ingredients. Take care in microwave--heat in short bursts and stir well. Once it has no lumps, pour chocolate over the cookie dough layer.
2) Smooth out chocolate and then place dish in fridge to set for 10-15 minutes (if it's there a long time, the chocolate will crack when you try to cut it). Lift out entire brownie using the aluminum foil and set on a surface to slice into bars.
Keep stored in a lidded container, and if you're in a warm place, keep'em in the fridge.
OM NOM NOM.
