Dear Pinterest,
I can’t quit you! I NEED to quit you! My thighs NEED me to quit you! But I obviously can’t. You are an online drug that sucks time away from my work and my life. Good thing you give me things like yummy brownies or it would totally be a one-sided relationship!
I know baby gear is my expertise and I should stick to strollers but here’s the thing. The more strollers that I have to get done – the more I want to bake. It’s like my stress reliever. Yep, I’m a stress baker! There…I said it! I LIKE TO BAKE! I like strollers too but if you gave me a brownie AND a stroller – I’d be in heaven. The problem is that I should be working…filming…reviewing…writing…answering emails…yet, I’m scouring your yummy pages of Food & Drink for my next fix. Why can’t I just land on the grilled chicken recipes and forget about the brownies? I just can’t. Don’t judge.
I’d like to say we’re through but you know I can’t. You had me at “Pin it”.
xoxo,
Hollie
Okay, so this afternoon instead of working on the Baby Jogger City Mini GT review, I was making brownies. But in my defense, these aren’t just any brownies. These are everything that is right in the world. Chocolate chip cookies, Oreos and brownies all in one delicious bar. Yeah, what’s not good about that?!?
And yes, you guessed it – found the recipe on Pinterest! (Why not follow me HERE because I really do find the best stuff?!) I did my good blogging detective work to find what I think is the original poster of this recipe. Good old Kevin and Amanda are the ones to blame for this one! Sure, there are others that claim to be the creators of this recipe on Pinterest but from what I’ve seen – Kevin and Amanda were the first.
I saw the photos…read the recipe…and headed to the store immediately. This Pinterest obsession is becoming ridiculous! I’m so glad I did because these brownies are totally worth it. Like sinfully delicious – forget-about-the-calories-yummy! Plus, they are pretty darn easy to make.

Don’t act like this isn’t the yummiest thing you’ve ever seen!

Mine just came out of the oven and they taste great! I used 3 eggs rather than two in the brownie mix... Made it a little less dense.

The recipe says to use foil or wax paper- I think she meant parchment paper. You can use any chocolate chip cookie pouch mix if you want to quicken prep time, or other cookie type?? Cook time may need a little more- stick a tester in and adjust time accordingly, no worries! I would eat these raw or cooked :)

Please fix your site. I kept getting "Order Baby Gizmo Delivered" pop-up! SO ANNOYING! I couldn't read the recipe.
