You all know I will jump at the opportunity to share with you things I am loving lately. Consider this the Abby’s favorite things to share with you all. Just like Oprah – except you guys have to go out and buy yourself these items – haha. But, this money will be well spent!
I love to bake …. from scratch. I tend to lean away from anything boxed or pre mixed. Mainly to cater to Owen’s allergies, and because I like to know what goes into my baked goods. What is funny though – there are times when I turn to the store shelves to do the work for me, take some of the arm work out of it all. And you know what happens 75% of the time?! It doesn’t turn out right – how the heck does that happen? Premixed – just for me to toss in a few extras, bake accordingly and it should turn out perfectly. Well, fool me once. I gave up on boxed baking mixes for quite some time.
Until Immaculate Baking Company came into my life.
Oh. My. Word.
Waltzing through the aisles of Heinens, my eyes were drawn to this purple package of fudge brownie cookie dough –
It had me at fudge. And brownie. And cookie dough. I could not resist – until the guilt set in that Owen would not be able to eat it. The momma guilt always kicks in. Placing it back onto its refrigerated shelf I caught the glimpse of the most beautiful words I could have seen … DAIRY FREE.
Could it be true? A cookie dough, ready to bake, made with ingredients I can pronounce and feel good about AND both of my kids could enjoy? SOLD.
Now … to get my butt home to bake them up — hoping that this would be one of the times a pre packaged baked good would turn out right. What happened 15 minutes later knocked my freaking socks off. These cookies not only turned out SO delicious – they were the BEST chocolate cookies I have ever had. I bought 4 more packages in the next two weeks — each time they turned out just the same. Not one flop!
I had to get my hands on more of their products – and I did.
When Immaculate Baking Company so lovingly decided to collaborate with me on coming up with new recipes utilizing their products I was over the moon excited to start!
My box came, packed with organic unbleached flour – pancake and waffle mix, chocolate chip cookie mix — the list goes on. I jumped on using the Brownie Scratch Baking Mix first. 8 ingredients – that is it in this box! Unlike most prepackaged baking mixes, the list is long and you are unable to pronounce 90% of it. You add the eggs, butter stir it together and bake. I decided to bake my brownie mix into a tart pan – one where the bottom lifts out but any dish they allow for measurement wise will do. Just make sure if you do not have a removable bottom to put parchment paper down first so you are able to lift the cooked brownie out of the pan!
So, you will need …
Box Immaculate Baking Brownie Scratch Baking Mix
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 bag of chocolate chips – we use dairy free
Cookie cutter of your choice
Lollipop Sticks
Bake brownies accordingly, let cool – and then place pan into the fridge for 20 minutes to chill.
Using your cookie cutter, cut out your shapes and shove a lollipop stick into the middle of the brownie.
Place back into the fridge to chill a bit more (10 minutes)
In the last few minutes of chilling, melt your chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl (I do 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between) Take out your brownie pops and spoon the melted chocolate over the top of the brownie pops. It does not need to be perfect! This is a fun simple treat! Toss your favorite sprinkles on top!
As you can imagine, you could do all different shapes for different holidays. I think heart brownie pops are in the near future!
We have kept our brownie pops in the fridge and have been enjoying them all week long!
I cannot wait to come up with more recipes to share with you all. I am loving the fact that I can embrace not cooking from complete scratch and still deliver something that I am SO proud of and feel good about giving my family!
Immaculate Baking Company, you rock!!
