Brookies . . .have you heard of them?
They are all over Pinterest and they are super delicious. They have been on my list of 1, 387 desserts I still need to try and I finally got around to making them. I’m just really glad I made them for a Relief Society social my ward was having because I could have eaten the entire pan. I have to be honest though, I thought these were even better the second day!
The combination of brownies and cookies together is just genius (and ridiculously delicious).The flavor possibilities are endless and I already have other flavor combinations ideas I’m going to have to try.
I have a weakness for butterfingers so I figured that was a good place to start. How can you go wrong with a brownie layer, topped with Butterfinger bites and then finished off with a layer of Butterfinger cookie dough. Butterfinger heaven I’m telling you!
