peanutbutter or caramel--they are both great mixed in browniesHelp! brownie advice plz!?
Any kind of chocolate chip would work, milk chocolate or white chocolate, try peanut butter chips or mint chips etc. You can also flavor them with extract - coconut, orange, mint about a cap full is all you need. mix in and give a taste add another cap full if you want an enhanced flavor. you could also bake a dried fruit in them, like cherries or cranberries.
Here are some ideas.
Pour in a can of cherry pie mix
Use peanut butter chips
Use creme de mint candies (unwrapped, of course!)
note: you can also use them as a frosting after brownies are bakes. Lay on brownies fresh out of the oven and when melted, smooth over. Yummy good and easy.
I haven't tried m%26amp;ms, but saw them in a bakery like this.
Softened cream cheese and marble throughout
of course, vanilla chips
and they make those heath bar toffee pieces, now. Use them
hope this helps
either peanut butter or cream cheese with some powdered sugar and vanilla. make sure when you put it in you dont mix it fully just plop a little in a slowly run a butter knife when the brownie mix is in the pan. make sure the knife never actually hits the bottom.
any kind of chip.
I add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sour cream to the batter for gooey chocolatey brownies.
Just put whatever chips you want into the batter ...........Or, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar %26amp; vanilla until well blended, and marbelize it through the brownie mix
Get yourself some Junior Mints, or Junior Caramels, freeze them then add to your batter.
you can chop up banana's, add nuts, chips.
