What are Brownie Chunks for?
While brainstorming new recipe ideas a few weeks ago, I came up with an idea for a new cheesecake recipe. Picture this: creamy coffee cheesecake atop an Oreo crust... sounds delicious, right? Kinda like these Mini Coffee Cheesecakes. But different. This recipe would be a no-bake cheesecake - creamy, lighter, simpler to make, perfect for summer.
But the star of the show: BROWNIE CHUNKS! That's right, super fudgy brownies chopped up and folded into the creamy coffee cheesecake base. Heavenly.
So this post is about how to make these incredible brownie chunks that you will be able to add to dessert recipes to make them even better. And the amazing cheesecake I keep talking about? The recipe will be out next week!
You could also use these wonderful little bites of fudge brownie to make an ice cream sundae. Vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, brownie bites, and a cherry on top... making my mouth water just thinking about it! Hot tip: heat the brownie chunks up a little for the ultimate sundae experience! (pun definitely intended;)
Also... where the heck have I been?!?! I know, I know, It's been almost 6 months since I last posted. I moved in February and I'm loving my new town. The game of juggling work, gym, eating well, family, and friends, while still getting some sleep through it all can be exhausting and a difficult balance to find. Thankfully, I have recently felt my baking "spark" come back and I've been motivated to test some recipes and do some photography and blogging! But, that's all I'll say for now because we all know everyone hates it when food bloggers write about their life instead of just giving the dang recipe...

- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated (white) sugar

A good, classic brownie, and what a genius idea to chop them small! I doubled this recipe and baked it in two metal pans, and they were done in 25 min. After we ate some, I've put the rest of the bites in the freezer so we have them on hand for summer treats!

Wonderful! I love the idea of freezing some for later. Thank you, Casey!
