Baby It's Cold Outside.....

As most of you know by now, it is freezing here! So far today's high is only 22, but to some of you thats pretty warm. My husband and I ventured out last night to the Wal-Mart to return a movie. While we were there I realized that I needed to get some ice cream before THAT was depleated too. It was ridiculous in there! No bread, no milk, no cheese, no frozen pizzas, no sour cream, no cokes, no water, NOTHING.

What in the world are all of these people going to do with some of those things? I didn't realize that snow meant you had to run out and stock up on sour cream. BAHAHAHA.... Anywho. I decided that last night was a good cold night for some brownie sundaes. We usually do pocorn and movie night, but last night was brownie night. Of course, being the great mother that I am, (no laughing) I decided to make them Chocolate Chip cookie dough brownies. How so, easy!






Recipe:
1 box of fudge brownie mix {gasp! yes it was box mix, couldn't run out of eggs & flour, nowhere to buy any ;)}
1 Carton of vanilla ice cream- any kind- we have to use lactose free for our daughter, which is very good.
1 stick of unsalted butter; melted
1/8 cup of granulated white sugar
1/4 & 1/8 of cup of brown sugar (couldn't figure out the measurement that late, sorry)
Mini Chocolate chips or chunks cut up

Make brownies as directed from box; let sit for about 10 minutes. While resting, mix melted butter and both sugars into a bowl on medium speed until fluffy. Chop chocolate if necessary. Plate brownie square onto dish and top with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream. Spoon sugar mixture over ice cream adn quickly top with chocolate.

NOTE: Because the brown sugar topping is made with butter, once added to ice cream it will harden, not rock hard, but harder than out of the bowl. I smashed mine down a little flat, and it was to die for! You have the chocolate pieces with the hardened brown sugar mixture(like dough) and ice cream and brownie! YUM. Enjoy!

Sorry about the small picture, my camera battery is dead, so I had to upload from my phone.

The brownies looks so good. I am so jealous that you got out. Our road is still a frozen mess. I am having a chocolate withdraw.
I love your blogger background. It is so pretty.
