Recipe: Copycat Cosmic Brownies

Growing up I always used to get the Cosmic Brownies in my lunch, and they were always so good. I always remember going with my mom and picking up a box of those Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies. As an adult, I cringe even thinking about feeding them to my kids. There are just so many ingredients in them that I really have no idea what 75% of them are or even how to pronounce them. I finally have a recipe now that are a true copycat of them, but they taste so much better (if that makes sense).

Ingredients:
1 ½ Sticks Butter, softened
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
¾ Cup Heavy Cream
2 teas. Vanilla Extract
¾ Cup Cocoa Powder
1 Cup Flour
8 oz. Semisweet Chocolate
¼ Cup – ½ Cup Mini M&Ms

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350˚.

In a mixing bowl cream together the Butter, Sugar and Brown sugar.

Add in the Eggs, ¼ Cup Heavy cream and Vanilla, mix until combined.

Add in the Cocoa powder and mix until combined.

Add the flour 1/3 at a time stirring between each addition.

Put the batter in an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan lined with lightly greased parchment paper and bake at 350˚until a tooth pick comes out clean, 45-55 minutes. Remove and let cool.

In a microwaveable bowl combine the Chocolate and ½ Cup Heavy cream. Microwave on high for 30 second intervals stirring after each until the Chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour over the brownie in the pan and smooth to the edges.

Sprinkle with M&Ms and refrigerate until set.

Remove from the pan and cut into desired sizes.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
