TopDeck Brownies

TopDeck Brownies are a delightful change on the usual brownies. Chocolate rich bottom brownie with a gooey topping in the center. The top bakes to a crispy deliciousness !

TopDeck Brownies

Of all the brownies we have ever eaten, this is most certainly one of the best ! Moist, chocolatey bottom, with a gooey center between the two layers and the best crunchy topping.

I found this recipe for these TopDeck Brownies on a local magazine’s online recipe site and was immediately drawn to it.

TopDeck Brownies

I made these TopDeck Brownies on a Friday morning together with some other sweet treats. Both the kids were home for most of the weekend and I wanted to treat them with a variety.

Well, the Brownies disappeared almost immediately and everyone loved them. I had quite a few myself 😉 . Maybe one or three too many, but hey, I want to see any brownie lover only have one or two of these awesome sweeties.

The Top layer reminds me a lot of sugar cookies, but not quite. It is just one of those things you have to try yourself !

Oh, and by the way – try not to eat most of the Top layer’s dough before it reaches the cake pan (thought I’ll just mention it ..)
