My sister-in-law dubbed me the dessert queen because of treats like this that I take to our family get-togethers. The brownies have a fudge-like texture and a rich cream cheese topping. Cashews and a hot fudge swirl make these pretty bars special. Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size) |
1/3 cup water |
1/4 cup canola oil |
1 egg |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
topping: |
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup salted cashews, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, oil and egg. Stir in chips. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack.
2. For topping, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over brownies. Sprinkle with cashews; drizzle with hot fudge topping. Refrigerate before cutting. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
