But today!? sure wish I had something around.... had flour, eggs and such but no add in kind of things such as pecans and chocolate chips... Joe was wanting some peanut butter fresh from the oven cookies... dang! that sounded good...
Thought I'd make some cinnamon toast. The broiling element in my oven decided to not work. We, both being old, like the way our Mothers made toast. Put the bread in a pan... butter it and broil it quickly ... makes butter blops in the middle and crusty around the edges...
I decided I would make the cinnamon toast as I would for grilled cheese. Butter one side and let it 'fry' while adding butter on top .... then flipping over and put cinnamon and sugar on the top .... then just briefly turned that top over to make it kinda gooey...
Not like the oven kind but it was edible and warm and comforting on this old wintry day.
A pal posted this on Facebook... called Slutty Brownies... absolutely just the most bad awful terrible and decadent sounding things ....
I'm NOT going to make them but you all have got to see this....
"They're called Slutty Brownies because they're oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy."
1 Box of cookie mix,
1 Box of brownie mix,
2 Eggs,
2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them)
Some oil
& your favourite ice-cream (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350°F, 180°C, gas mark 4.
Line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
Follow the instructions on the cookie mix box & stir furiously until you have gooey cookie dough, I usually add a little extra water and oil to what they suggest, it just keeps it moist as you'll be baking it for longer than suggested. An extra teaspoon of each is just right.
Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom.
Cover this layer with your Oreos. Don't use the broken ones, eat them as you go. This recipe is too glorious to use substandard Oreos.
Mix up your brownie batter. Just stick to the recipe on the box for this one.
& pour over your Oreos.
Bake for 30mins.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
When its still a little bit warm, use the paper to lift your creation out of the tray and rest it on a chopping board.
Use a large, sharp knife to cut it into manageable chunks, sections, slabs... depending on how many calories you think you can handle in one sitting.
Drop onto a plate and scoop on your ice cream.
You're welcome... ;)

I always made cinnamon toast by broiling it. It makes the sugar/cinnamon/butter get a little crispy and is sooo good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn, I haven't had my breakfast yet... and I don't want it any more.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with Yogourt, fruit and cereal... but it taste nothing like cinnamon nor brownies :(
But at least, I'll flush it down with delicious water yerk :))
'morning, Gypsy ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah me too but my broiling element croaked! That's why I did the skillet thing... lol... SO... among other things this house needs is a new stove. sigh
Poor Richard! .... I know the feeling... trying so hard to stick to a diet regime while others around you are scarfing down pie... or brownies or whatever it is I can't have!
ReplyDeleteIn my next life? I've put in a request to have the metabolism to eat whatever I want whenever I want. wouldn't that be something...
haaaaa... you and your water... that's one thing I don't have a problem with... I drink water all day long.
In fact, my favorite drink is water over crushed ice with fresh lemon... love it. Put in a little sprig of mint ... ;)
Carolyn, I'm 65, I need that recipe like I need another hole in the head. Woman, you can be cruel sometime. Oh my gosh, that looks decadent. The name fits for sure. hahaha. Thanks anyway....
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your broiler element. That sucks. I use a small toaster oven a lot for just the two of us. It's great and save from using my big oven a lot. JB
HAhaaa Julia... I know... I'm cruel to even me because I know I'm not going to make those! sure am curious what they would taste like though... man!
ReplyDeleteYeah... through all the moves and RV living and such ... things like toaster ovens and such were given away or thrown away from being old.
I might go buy a toaster oven again but we -- going to Target today ... be cheaper than a new stove! or element...
always something that needs money! I'm still looking at motorhomes
Joe was 65 December 8th. I'll be 69 March 28th... 69. SIXTY NINE... man oh man oh man 69
I may make those slutty brownies for my birthday... HAHaaaaa
You had me at the title. The Cookie Monster photo was even better!
ReplyDeleteAnd you might catch something from them.
