FRENCH SILK PIE BROWNIES

Okay, I have to know… are you a chocaholic?  I’d have to say that I am, but I go through periods where I prefer other kinds of sweets.  But I do always come back to my beloved chocolate lol.  For example, I just asked my 3 year old what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday next month, and inside my head I was squealing in delight when he said “chocolate cake!”.

I’ve actually been thinking about different chocolate desserts, planning ahead with blog posts for the rest of the summer and into fall, which got me thinking about these two chocolate recipes… the insanely popular brownie bottom cookie dough cheesecake, and my new personal favorite, the rolo-stuffed skillet brownie!  You all have pinned, left comments, and sent emails about how much you love those two recipes, so I know at least some of you are as in love with chocolate as I am 😉


This recipe comes to you straight out of my fellow blogger Hayley’s new cookbook, Two in One Desserts!  Hayley blogs over at  The Domestic Rebel, and this is her second cookbook.  She ROCKS!!  Let me tell you, there aren’t a whole lot of cookbooks that strike me as a must have, but when flipping through all the recipes in her book, I had a very hard time picking a recipe to share.  They all look amazing!!  You can buy her amazing cookbook HERE.
