Decadent brownies flecked with chocolate and toffee chips and baked in mini cast iron skillets.
You guys know that I have a pretty serious love affair going on with desserts, like my No Bake Cookies. However, when it comes to individually portioned desserts, my obsession becomes even greater. From Nutella Cheesecake Brownie Trifles to No Bake Raspberry Cheesecakes – I’m simply all about them.

Not only do I have a love affair with individual desserts, I’m also pretty obsessed with Amazon. With a new baby in the house, convenience is super important, so I find myself using my Prime account to buy everything from baby clothes to dog bones.

There’s really nothing better than having necessities (hello, salted caramel brownie brittle) delivered directly to your door. Let’s just say we’re on a first name basis with our amazing UPS delivery man. Although I’m fairly certain he secretly thinks we’re hoarders.

skilletbrownies2RSLast week, Lodge Miniature Cast Iron Pans popped up under the Amazon Recommends section and they promptly went into my cart. I adore cast iron pans, but mini cast iron pans takes that adoration to a completely different level.

I immediately started dreaming of mini frittatas, mini blueberry buckles, and cast iron skillet brownies. And it definitely didn’t take long for the mini skillet brownies to become a delicious reality.

I started with a decadent fudgy brownie base and folded in chocolate chips and toffee bits – because let’s be honest here, less is definitely not more when it comes to brownies.

They’re pretty perfect on their own, but if you’re really looking to push these skillet brownies over the edge, top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of hot fudge sauce and a sprinkling of toffee chips. They may put you in a minor food coma, but I promise, it will be worth every single bite.

Skillet Brownies

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces plus 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided use
  • 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, choppe
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl over simmering water, melt butter, 4 ounces of chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate until smooth. Set aside and let cool for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift together 1/4 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. In a medium bowl, toss together the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, toffee bits and one tablespoon of flour and fold them into the chocolate mixture. Divide batter into five 3-1/2 inch cast iron skillets and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, taking care not to overbake.

    I don’t have that many small skillet but would the cooking time change a lot if I put it in one large one? These look great!

      Jess-
      I would start checking the brownies after about 34-40 minutes. I think they’ll be fine in one skillet. :)
