Knock You Naked Brownies

"I'm not sure if this recipe originated with Loretta LaRoche, a humorist/stress management consultant, but it ends with her quote. In any case, it’s the easiest, quickest, most heavenly chocolate delight you can imagine. (No bowl...almost no stir) Lock the door & turn on the oven, honey!"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 cup Bisquick
• 1 cup sugar, divided use
• 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1⁄3 cup baking cocoa
• 1⁄2 cup milk (or half & half)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1/2 cup pecans (optional)
• 1 2⁄3 cups hot water

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix Bisquick, 1/2 cup sugar and 3 T. cocoa in a greased 8" x 8" glass baking dish. (I use a disposable aluminum pan sprayed with PAM.) Stir in the milk (or half & half) and vanilla until blended.
3. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup cocoa and 1/2 cup sugar. DO NOT STIR!
4. Sprinkle nuts over the top, if desired. Pour hot water over the top and DO NOT STIR!
5. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. The top will look and taste like a brownie, but underneath will be a YUMMERS rich hot chocolate sauce. If you serve it with vanilla ice cream, it's so good it'll Knock you Naked! (See why you locked the door?).
6. In the words of Loretta LaRoche, "Life is short, so wear your party pants!".

Definitely don't attempt this recipe without an ample supply of ice cream in the house. The chocolate sauce is divine and simply screams for ice cream. There are only two of us and we nearly finished it off the first night. With a burned tongue I ate the rest for breakfast. (See why you need the ice cream available)?

We followed the recipe exactly, but it just wasn't to our taste. It reminded my kids of a sundae, but they thought it was a little bitter. It tasted best served with icecream and it was better the second day. I think it was just not traditional enough. Thanks for sharing. :)

I hate to dash this recipe, as I had great hopes for it. I will give it 5* for ease of preparation and it certainly smells good when it's cooking, but the brownie zombies at my house did not devour it or even take off their socks. Sorry, maybe it was something I did.

OH.MY.GAWD. Found this recipe by accident in a thread here on Zaar. I've had , out of a Betty Crocker Cookbook, Hot Fudge Sundae Cake , which is similar to this. This is faster, no oil , and to me tastes even better than my beloved Hot Fudge Sundae Cake! So intensely chocolatey , and believe me, that's not a bad thing! LOL I must agree with Breezytoo though , this could be dangerous!!! LOL Thanks so much for posting the recipe , and let me just say , my husband was sad my clothes didn't fly off LOLOLOL

YUM! I've had something similar to this years ago, but not made with Bisquick. Its a delicious quick fix if you're craving chocolate and hits the spot! With eveything on hand, this could be dangerous too! *lol* No ice cream here ~ for me personally, I think it would have put me over the top! I used the chopped walnuts and loved the crunch in addition to the cake and pudding textures. Thanks for sharing this keeper! :)
