Cake Batter Brownie Blondies–Pinned it, Did it!

I saw these cake batter brownies on Pinterest and knew they’d be a perfect Easter treat.  Plus, the caption stated, “All the pinners said they’re to die for.”  I made a special trip to the store just for the ingredients so Tottie and I could make them.

Tottie was so excited and couldn’t wait!  She put on her apron and chef hat and we got to work…

We followed the directions on how to make these delicious treats and began to mix…(please note that these are not the original directions we followed. As of 5/15/14 the original link does not work. The recipe is essentially the same)

I started wondering why the batter was a sticky, marshmallow fluff consistency and became a bit skeptical of it.  My skepticism turned out to be correct because after I got the brownies in the oven and they were half-way done, I realized I forgot the milk!  (Ugh, Lindsi and I have been having a really hard time following directions in our Pinned it, Did it! posts lately.)  I’m pretty sure that little 1/4 cup of milk would have definitely helped the stickiness of the batter.

Despite forgetting the milk, these cake batter brownie blondies turned out GREAT!  They were a huge hit with my entire family (including Hubby who isn’t really a sweets person).  I definitely suggest trying these yourself.  As the other pinners said, they really are “to die for.”
