This Sunday is the biggest game of the year, the Superbowl. Superbowl Sunday is a time where friends and family can get together and cheer for the same team or against each other. For some people, it is an excuse to eat junk food and see all the new commercials. Either way, Superbowl usually involves lots of food and drink.
Since I am a baker, I usually bring something baked to my Superbowl parties I am invited to. My go to treat I bring incorporates a very popular snack food that is definitely served at Superbowl parties. It is the potato chip. That is right… you heard me… this treat involves baking with potato chips.
My go to treat is the dark chocolate potato chip brookie. What is a brookie you ask? A brookie is a combination of a brownie and cookie in one treat. Usually the brownie is on the bottom and cookie on top. This treat incorporates a dark chocolate brownie, potato chip cookie, and dark chocolate drizzle on top.
GO TEAM! Let’s start baking…
Brownie Ingredients:
• 1- 10 to 12 oz package of dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup of unsalted butter cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ¾ cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
Cookie Ingredients:
• ½ cup of unsalted butter
• ¼ cup of granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup of crushed potato chips
Other Supplies:
• 9 x 12 pan or 8×8 square pan
• 2 mixing bowls and spoons
• Parchment paper or vegetable shortening
• Small sauce pan
• ½ cup of dark chocolate chips for decorating
Brownie Directions:
1. Melt chocolate chips, butter, sugar, and water in a sauce pan on low heat. Keep mixing so the chocolate doesn’t burn. You are done melting when the chocolate chips and butter are completely melted.
2. In the mean time mix flour, salt, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until combined.
3. Once chocolate mixture is completely melted, combine chocolate mixture and flour mixture and mix thoroughly.
4. Add eggs to batter and mix after each addition.
5. Set batter aside and work on making the cookie dough.
Cookie Directions:
1. Soften butter in microwave for 30 seconds. It should be soft and partially melted.
2. Mix butter and sugar in a small bowl until mixture is well combined and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla extract, flour, and crushed potato chips. Mix until well combined.
Now it is time to assemble the brookie.
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease cake pan with shortening or use parchment paper to line cake pan.
2. Pour the brownie batter in cake pan and spread to cover pan evenly.
3. Place cookie dough on top of brownie batter in a thin layer. It can cover the entire brownie, or you can place randomly so you have some brownie showing through.
4. Bake brookies for 30 minutes at 325°F or until golden brown on top and when a toothpick is inserted into brownie it comes out clean.
5. Melt ½ cup of chocolate chips in microwave for 30 sections. Mix and drizzle on top of brookie.
6. Let brookie cool.
