Brownies of Love
To the casual observer, she is nutty, but she has a dark side and melts into a state of lusciousness in the right hands.
He may not seem like much—an average-looking guy with all the usual ingredients—but when he’s stirred, he rises to the occasion.
Thrust into close confines with the heat turned up, these two unite with a passion that will change their destinies forever.
(I was trying to find a way to share this recipe after deciding to limit myself to romance-related topics.)
She is a combo of melted peanut butter and Nutella, which is tasty enough to be eaten out of the bowl all by itself. He is brownie batter made of the usual kitchen staples, also yum with a spoon. Put them together, and the sound effects around the mixing bowl become downright obscene. The finished product inspires Fatal Attraction-like obsession: “You’ll make me fat, but I love you, and I’ll prove it by hacking off another big piece of you!”
Brownies of Love
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup Nutella
1/2 cup peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking dish (or use cooking spray).
Combine melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder; mix well (batter will be stiff—ha ha).
Combine Nutella and peanut butter together in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat until of a runny consistency (try 20-second increments). Add to batter; mix well.
Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center emerges with crumbs.
These brownies are moan-inducing as is. Add a cup of walnuts or toasted hazelnuts? OM effing G. I’m also considering modifying my peanut butter frosting recipe to incorporate the Nutella, in which case I’ll be arrested for lewd and lascivious, but it will be totally worth going to jail for!
