1. Buy a container of cake frosting and spread it over the top of the brownies as soon as they come out of the oven. Refrigerate them at once and cut into squares when cool. Try differnt flavors of cake frosting to come up with a favorite for you and your family. My familys favorite is german chocolate cake icing on the walmart brand packaged brownie mix.

2.Buy a package of the mini butterfinger candy bars. Mix up your brownies by the package directions and when you have it mixed and in the pan crush the whole package of mini butter finger bars into very small pieces and drop it into the brownie mix. In a 13X9 pan you should have enough to cover the entire top of the brownies. Cook it then by the package directions. You won't believe what you have created.

3. You can do the same thing as number 2 only this time do it with a 1 lb. Bag of mini colored M&Ms. Just sprinkle the colored M&M's over the top of your batter once you have mixed the brownie mix and added it to the pan. Bake according to the directions on the brownie package or box. These are oh so good.

4. Prepare a package or box of brownie mix by package directions. Crush two ripe bananas into mush and stir them into the brownie mix. Cook according to package directions. When they come out of the oven let them cool to room temp and then take a container ( regular size ) of marshmellow creme and spread it over the top of the brownies. Put in refrigerator and chill. You need to keep these in the fridge but they are oh so good. Try microwaving one for 45 seconds and put a scoop of vanilia ice cream on top. You will be in heaven.

5. For the ultimate brownie treat try this. When you are mixing the brownies add 1/3 cup fine chopped black walnuts and 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. When the brownies come out of the oven let cool to room temp. When the brownies are at room temp. spread a jar of marshmellow creme over the top of the brownies. Toast a 1/3 cup of flaked cocunut to golden brown and sprinkle that over the top of the marshmellow creme. This is one of the best brownies you will ever eat.

Now Here Is The Ultimate Brownie Feast

You want to start with a chocolate graham cracker pie shell. Make your favorite brownie mix by direction. Pour 2/3 cup of the brownie mix into a chocolate graham cracker pie shell. Bake until you can insert a wooden tooth pick or case knife into the center and it comes out clean so you know the brownie mix is done. Let it cool to room temp. Now take your favorite flavor of ice cream and let it soften until you can work with it. Spread it out in a generous layer over the top of the brownie in the pie shell. Top this with a layer of whip creme. Freeze in the freezer until well frozen. When you get ready to serve let it thaw just enough so you can cut into slices or wedges like a pie. As you serve each one drizzle the top of each with chocolate syrup. If you want you can try it a little differnt. Instead of a graham cracker pie shell crush 12-14 Oriole or Chocalte cookies to make a layer of the crushed cookies in the bottom of a 13X9 pan or glass casserole dish and then just follow the above. Here you can cut it out in squares and the people you are serving it to will love you.
