Half Baked Goodness


You know how I love Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice-cream, so why did I never think to try it in baked-good form? I don't have a satisfactory answer, but after finding this recipe during a recent blog-stalking spree, I decided to try it. Fan-didly-astic was the result.
It doesn't have a recipe per se, (the blog used Betty Crocker packages, which are nasty) so I just made my favorite brownie recipe and put it in the 9x9" pan, though a 9x13" would work just as well. I then made my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe. Next, you drop cookie-sized balls of dough into the brownie batter and press them into it a bit. I baked it at the temp the brownies called for, though they ended up taking about 12 minutes longer than normal. Just use the toothpick test.
The picture shows them with a chocolate ganache topping, which I foregoed, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the brownies. Two words for you: To. Die. For.

Those look sooo good! I think I might need your brownie recipe though (I seem to never find a good gooey recipe!)

Whoa. They look right up our alley. I have some recipes to post but keep forgetting! Note: "To. Die. For." is 3 words :)

Ok, so I tried them, and not so bueno. What did I do wrong? They were ok warm, mediocre (at best) cold. I even added the ganache. I used "drop and bake" cookie dough. Perhaps the problem?
