Notes

  
Options: 
 
*Frost brownies with any flavor frosting desired. (Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Salted Caramel or Coconut are good options)
 
*Warm thick sauce for 15-20 seconds in microwave and pour over the top of uncooked brownies.  Swirl with a butter knife.  (Peanut Butter, Nutella, Marshmallow Fluff, Caramel, Salted Caramel, Mixture of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff)
 
*Mix-in suggestions:  Crushed Oreos, nuts, candy, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, marshmallows.  
 
*Thin 9 x 13 brownies are perfect for ice cream sandwiches!   If you plan to do this I suggest that you line the pan with foil, then spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray for baking.  Slice cooled brownies down the middle.  Spread softened ice cream of your choice over one side of the brownies.  Cover with the other half of brownies.  Cover and freeze until firm.  Remove from freezer and cut into serving size pieces.
