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.
Last 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.

Could these also be baked in ramekins?
Hi BMG,
Sure, I don’t see why not.

Thanks for the recipe. I’m going to make these a lot for my chocoholic husband.
:-)
They have these skillets at lodgemfg.com too for $6.25 each.

Can’t find these cute skillets? Go to lodgemfg.com for all kinds and sizes. They have lids too, if you need one. Love this recipe. Thanks for posting.
I love the idea of making things in skillets – you think I could make this in an 8 inch one? A very large brownie.
Hi Sandra,
I think that would probably work.
– Jamie
These look and sound fantastic!! Makes my mouth water just thinking about them.
Lenoria-
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful day and thank you for following MBA!

Greased or increased skillet? Definitely getting baby skillet!!!!!
Do you think this would work in mini-casuelas? They are 5″ like skillets but are the material of cookie sheets. And rather than one long handle they are two handles on the pan. Would I only need to adjust the cook time? What would you recommend?
I think that would work just fine, and I think that the baking time would be the same.

Ok anything brownie is amazing in my book, but girl you took it to a whole new level!! Yum is all I can say and wrapped up in a cute, nice size single serving, almost makes me think there’s less calories! ;). Thanks for this!
Love the mini skillets, how cute are they. The brownies look fabulous even on their own!
