What do you add to your brownies to make them a hit at your summer get-togethers?

Let's talk brownies!

What do you add to your brownies to make them a hit at your summer get-togethers?

·    Nothing – plain brownies are perfect!
·    Frosting or whipped cream (i.e. Cookies 'n Creme Brownies, Brownie Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting, or Ultimate Turtle Brownies)
·    Bake in nuts or chocolate (i.e. Outrageous Caramel-Fudge Brownies, Indulgent Brownie Torte, or Triple-Chocolate Brownies)
·    Top with fruit (i.e. Brownies with Grilled Fruit, Mocha Brownie Torte with Strawberries, etc)
·    Just decorate like crazy – anything goes!

Please tell us about your brownie recipes and any tips or tricks you swear by!

Sincerely, Cate

Black Forest Brownies: Make dark chocolate brownies. Ice them with cream cheese icing, dark chocolate icing, or caramel icing. On top: Chilled cherry pie filling, whipped topping.

I stir coarsely chopped walnuts and Junior Mints into the batter and bake as usual in a 13x9"pan. I serve the brownies with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce or a scoop of chocolate pudding with whipped cream and bits of toffee. De-lish!

I added this to our marriage vows in 1967 and again when we renews our vows at 35 years: For better, for worse, but NOT for lunch.

I add some cream cheese on mine.........pour it over the mix when it's ready to be baked and swirl it around with a toothpick before baking.......you won't need to do any frosting or anything else........yumm

Mmm cream cheese frosting; that sounds so good!  A new favorite brownie topping of mine is mini marshmallows and chocolate chips or M&M’s, like this Spring Celebration Brownie: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx/spring-celebration-brownies/317e19d7-e33d-4c99-b555-9b06a438309a.  As soon as your warm brownies come out of the oven, sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top and put back in the oven for 3-5 more minutes until the marshmallows and chocolate chips have melted on top and make for an ooey-gooey treat!
