You know those moments when you’re just sitting around, enjoying some quality lazy-time.. and then all of a sudden, that old familiar feeling hits you from out of nowhere?!  You know that feeling, the deep longing for a sweet, rich, and oh so satisfying brownie.. yep, that’s the one.  How annoying is that? 

I mean, come on.. you’re snuggled into that sweet spot on the couch, you’ve already eaten your weight in chips, dips, and cheese.. and now this.  

NOW you’re up, making your way toward the kitchen to make those brownies happen.  Well, here’s a fun way to enjoy those brownies, that will definitely make you feel better about everything else you’ve eaten thus far, (and getting up off of the couch).  .. you’re welcome!

I give to you, deep fried brownies!  

~Yeah, I know.. crazy as it sounds, these take your ordinary brownie and send them flying up to levels unknown to brownies until now.  I’m talking about a golden, perfectly crispy outer shell that holds a hot, sweet, ooey-gooey, melty brownie inside.. just waiting to get inside your face and soul.. where they belong.  

Self-hatred never tasted so good!  ~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

Brownies.. one square per serving.  I used store bought, but feel free to make your own.

Large egg roll wrappers/wonton wrappers

1 egg with a splash of water for egg wash

oil for frying.. I used veg.

powdered sugar ,, optional

Directions:

Simply place one brownie cut-to-fit, in the center of your wrapper…

..making sure to seal with some egg wash…

Fold the wrapper over the brownie. gently pressing to seal very well…

Fry them up one at a time in the hot (350 degree) oil, until golden on all sides…

Serve them up nice and warm…

With some powdered sugar .. because, well..powdered sugar.  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Is there any food that offers up flavor, fun and function quite the way the good old fry does?  I think not!

What else can you eat with your hands, dip into anything you’d like, and still look like you have manners?  Okay~  well there are a few things, but none of them are as amazing as (these) fries..so there.  🙂

I’ve taken all that fry-love and incorporated it into a corrupt, yet wholesome dessert~  Yep..now you can pick up your brownies and eat them too, all while getting your booze on!  …and no one can judge you..not one bit.  Why?  Because these are bourbon-filled brownie fries and they’re for fun people..that’s why.  🙂

These are for the drunkards people who can appreciate the simple joy that comes from eating booze-filled treats with one’s own hands, and not giving a good gosh darn about being socially acceptable..haha!

~We do what we want~  which is why there is uh…’lots’ of BOOZE in these brownie fries!!  You’re not surprised are you?!

That’s right, bourbon soaked, chocolatey sweet sticks of tender brownie, frosted in cascades of smooth chocolate and topped with sugar so they look as cute as you do when you eat them.  🙂

Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

9×13 pan..sprayed with non stick spray

1-18 oz. box of brownie mix

1 cup or so of chocolate frosting

Bourbon..enough to replace the water called for on your box instructions

sugar for sprinkling on top

caramel sauce for dipping

Directions:

In a med bowl combine the brownie mix, and follow the box instructions…

..other than replace the water with the bourbon…

Pour the batter evenly into the pan and bake according to the box instructions…

Let them cool completely…

Then cut the brownies into strips approx. 1″ wide.

Slightly melt the frosting to loosen it and frost the brownie fries on one or two sides…

Before they dry..top the with a sprinkle of sugar…

Let them set up and serve up those adorable, booze filled brownie fries…  ~Enjoy!  🙂

OMGosh~  You might want to sit down before you read on or be prepared for your head to spin!  If you love brownies, if you love Oreos, if you’re alive…you are about to be blown the heck away!  I’ve raised the brownie bar so high that it’s almost impossible to get your lips around  it..lol!

These brownies talk the talk and walk the walk as they’re completely stuffed with crushed OREOS and slathered with a double stuff layer of that classic OREO ‘Stuf’ ..stuff!

~And let me tell you..this filling tastes exactly like that magnificent center of our favorite cookie!

Make sure not to have any spoons around when you make this filling because you will polish off the entire bowl of it before any makes it inside the brownies.  😉

Each chewy and chocolaty, oreo filled brownie is balanced by a thick layer of the creamiest, sweetest, authentic tasting OREO filling ever!  You will be a rockstar to anyone you grace with these brownies…trust me! 🙂

What you’ll need:

10×15 sheet pan or jelly roll pan

1 box of brownie mix

20 Original OREOS..crushed

The Filling:

1/4 cup veg shortening, butter will work, but the filling WILL NOT BE WHITE (therefore I didn’t use butter as shown)

1 tsp. granulated sugar

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla for flavor ..Using this will also dull the white color (I did not use this as shown)..you can use a clear extract as well!

3 Tbsp. HOT water

Directions:

Mix up the brownie batter according to the box instructions… I used a hand mixer, but not necessary!

Crush the OREOS..a processor worlds great for this…

Stir the OREO crumbs directly into the brownie batter…

Now, spread the batter evenly onto the sprayed and lined with parchment pan.  It doesn’t have to be perfect, it will bake up and be just fine in the end!

Bake it at 350 degrees, for approx. 25 minutes, or until the brownies are cooked through.

While the brownie sheet is cooking, make the Double ‘STUF’~

In a large bowl, combine the shortening, granulated sugar, and hot water.   Use an electric hand mixer to blend that together and slowly add in all the powdered sugar!  Now you can add the Vanilla if you’d like, but remember..your filling won’t be “double Stuf” white.

Mix until smooth and fluffy…

Let the brownies cool completely before cutting the sheet evenly in half… now you have a top layer and a bottom layer!

Now, gently spread the ‘Stuf’ onto one layer of the brownies… damp fingers works the BEST for this!

Top it with the other brownie half and cut it up into squares.

There are plenty to go around!  BUT..they go fast, so grab a few for you!  ~Enjoy! 🙂
