I like it ‘cause it is horrible for you but is most delicious.
______________________________________________________
What you need for:

Box of Betty Crocker (or comparable, don’t use no cheap A&P or America ’s Choice crap)

A cupcake baking tray (That’s all I had…)

A large jar of maraschino cherries

Foil and Paper cupcake sleeves

A can of whipped cream

Chocolate shavings (or sprinkles will do )

Hershey’s Chocolate syrup (Is there any other?)

Half Gallon of Vanilla Ice Cream (I prefer Breyers it has a more vanilla bean taste to it)

Bag of crushed walnuts or peanuts
______________________________________________________

What to do with all this stuff:

First mix up the brownie stuff in a big bowl.  Make sure to accidentally get your finger in there a few times so you can taste the mix before you cook it….Mmmmmmm raw eggs and chocolate powder stuff…yummy.  You can add the crushed nuts to the mix now if you like but I like to sprinkle them on later.

Take the foil and paper cupcake sleeves and put them in the cupcake tray.

Put 2 Tablespoons of brownie mix in each sleeve then add 3 cherries.  Distribute remaining mix evenly to fill the sleeves the rest of the way.  I like the little cherry suprises when you dig in later.

Cook the brownies according to directions on the box.  After their done let them sit for a good 10 minutes but you want them to be a little warm when you serve them.

Now the fun part:

Cut the brownies in half vertically (so each half has a bottom and a top).  For each serving, place the halves in a dish, flat side down with the bottoms facing each other.  Put two scoops of ice-cream on either side of the seam and one on top.

Now drizzle chocolate syrup back and forth to make a zig-zag design.  You can then drag the edge of a knife across the syrup lines on the plate (perpendicular to the syrup lines) in 1 inch intervals for a coolio effect.

Now sprinkle the crushed nuts (I like peanuts but folks seem to love walnuts with their brownies) all over the ice cream and brownies

Next cover the center scoop and around it’s base with whipped cream so the brownie tops still stick out on the sides.  Sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles all over the whipped cream and then top with a cherry.

If you want to get crazy…like…loony and stuff, try crushing some skors bars or heath bar crunch and mix it with the brownies….it’s gOod!
