The summer time brings a much-needed slower pace for moms. Well, not really, with all the activities and events planned from the moment the kids are out of school until the day they get back. However, it does give you a reason to enjoy some of the sweet things in life like brownies.
One of our family favorites, I was looking to jazz up the baked chocolate concoction with something a little more fun, flavorful AND QUICK. But it’s too hot to sit in the kitchen for hours, so with the help of a brownie mix, some cupboard staples and my International Delight Almond Joy Creamer, I was able to whip up a dessert like our family favorite 7-Layered Bars, but this time was even better with Almond Joy Brownies.
QUICK ALMOND JOY BROWNIES
Ingredients:
1 Box of Fudge Brownie Mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1 cup almonds (I used slivered, but you can use chopped)
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup of International Delight Almond Joy Creamer
Directions:
Make brownies as instructed on the box, but opt for the cake-like brownie recipe.)
Bake for about 15-18 minutes until the brownies are set, but not necessarily cooked.
Take the brownies out of the oven and begin layering. First with the coconut and then the chocolate chips.
Next add the creamer over the brownie mixture.
Last add the almonds.
Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes at the same temperature or until the toppings look browned.
Take out of the oven and allow to cool before cutting.
TIP:
Unlike chocolate chip cookies, these brownies get even better after some time out of the oven. We ended up putting these in the refrigerator for a day and when they came out again, I couldn’t get everyone to stop eating them. The added coolness gave it a little crunch and with the heat of summer, it was nice to bite into a cool brownie. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
