four ingredient nutella brownies

nutella brownie stack

I love Nutella.

I love brownies.

I don't have a lot of time for baking.

With this one recipe, I can die a happy woman.


If you peek over to the blog list on the right (a little lower... there you go) you will find one of my culinary role models, Alice from over at Savory Sweet Life. I've been following and enjoying her blog for a while now, but today was the first time I've ever had to stop what I was doing and immediately try a new recipe. It was so worth it! Thank you Alice!

Yum oh yum of yum oh yum! These little beauties not only combine my (previously noted) two favorite food groups into one tasty treat, but they do it in 15 minutes and with only four ingredients! That's right, four! Four ingredients that were already in my pantry, and did not include brownie mix.

They have a subtle hazelnut flavor, rich chocolate flavor, a perfect blend of fudgy brownie and crunchy nut textures and aren't the least bit ornery about coming out of their wrappers. Perfect!

Intrigued? Stop by Savory Sweet Life to find Alice's reprint of the recipe for {4 ingredient} Nutella Brownies from Abby Dodge's new cookbook, Desserts 4 Today: Flavorful Desserts with Just Four Ingredients. Then immediately make these and share them with those you love.

Or make them and eat them by yourself in the closet.

Just make them.

If Ms. Dodge's cookbook has more superfast, supertasty treats like this, I might just break my no-more-unrated-recipes-from-cookbooks rule and grab a copy.

Enjoy!

what I need

You know you are sleep deprived when...

what I need zoom

Yup. That's my subconscious screaming through my attempt to locate a chocolate milkshake recipe while chatting with Brad.

I love where it asks, "Did you mean chocolate sleepy?"

Yes. Yes I did. I am searching for chocolate sleepy.

Dear Lord in heaven, is that really a recipe option?


what I need 3

Dang. Well, a girl can dream.

And so can her subconscious.

Beans. They're tactile-y delicious.

oatmeal peanut butter cookie heaven

oatmeal peanut butter heaven


Oh sweet Lord in heaven these are good.

Perhaps the best cookies I have ever made.

And they're easy.

And they're perfect for my peanut butter-loving husband for Father's Day.

But they are VERY addictive, so please enjoy responsibly.

As soon as you possibly can.

I found the fabulous recipe here on one of my favorite blogs, Savory Sweet Life.

Once you get the cookies made, you can either just eat them as they are (which I personally prefer, since I like a more subtle peanut butter cookie) or go ahead and prepare yourself for sainthood and make the cookie sandwich version.

Just put the cream filling in a ziploc baggie, snip the corner and squeeze

squeeze

Then have your assistant sandwich another cookie on top.

press

Squeeze, top and repeat until you run out of cream filling. (Did I mention you might want to double the cream filling recipe?)

sandwiches

Feed to your favorite Daddy and prepare to be showered with praise, vows of undying love, hugs, and yes, maybe even a few tears.

smile

Happy Father's Day!

Now go make these cookies!
