I feel like I’m totally going back in time with this post. Not with the recipe but with the pictures. Technically I’m on vacation visiting family but seriously I just can’t ever stop cooking. I don’t like to take vacations from cooking and baking. I’m pretty sure I’m addicted.
At least its a healthy-ish addiction right :)? Besides all my family ever says when I see them is, “I’ve missed your cooking”. Seriously, when is someone just going to say to me, “we’ve missed you“?
my mom does it when she comes to stay. I’m really not offended by it, but it is funny and it’s also a great round about way of saying “so…whats for dinner tonight”? :)
Anyway I took these pictures with my sisters camera since I didn’t bring mine along. I wasn’t planning on sharing these but they were too good not to.
Really how could you go wrong with this kind of combination? Fudgy, chewy, chocolaty brownies topped with a carmely, rich, dulce de leche frosting that’s loaded with lightly salty peanuts that offer just the right amount of crunch and contrast – yes, it’s an irresistible combination. Enjoy!
