These are so easy, even I can do them – in fact, I made these on Saturday. And there’s enough time for you to make them this afternoon/tonight if you have the ingredients on hand. I baked them in the toaster oven so I could put them in to bake by myself (I wore a big oven mitt). These have two primary influences: 1) I read somewhere on the internet about how you can mix Greek yogurt and cake mix to make “cookies” and loved the idea, and 2) I think Paula makes a brownie with a chocolate bar in the middle. Mommy used to do this all the time with mint or coconut bars (not like a Snickers – a flat chocolate bar shaped like a traditional Hershey’s). They were fantastic.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of brownie mix (I used Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate)
- 1 c of Greek Yogurt
- Middle layer: I used 9 chocolate covered mint chocolate wafers from Costco. You could use anything – next time I should try graham crackers smeared with peanut butter and/or marshmallow fluff. Mmmmm!
Preheat oven to whatever the brownie mix tells you to preheat it to. Grease the pan (mine was 8×8).
Instructions
- Mix brownie mix and yogurt with an electric mixer. I added a splash of milk since it seemed a little dry and it turned out fine.
- Pour half of the brownie mix into the pan.
- Place your layer of cookies/chocolate on top of the 1st half of the brownie mix.
- Pour the rest of the brownie mix on top, spreading evenly.
- Bake according to instructions.
- Enjoy! Mine were yummy both warm and cold, but I think I probably prefer warm – think molten lava cake.
