Very often when I am at work, we decide to make something in our demo kitchen to sample out to our customers. By doing this, we can show our customers how to use certain products, and basically, fed shoppers are happy shoppers and happy shoppers tend to spend more money 🙂 On this particular Sunday, we decided to demo bakeware and sample out some of the brownie mixes that we sell. So we made this very easy, very delicious Brownie Bread Pudding. I have never really been a fan of bread pudding, I alwasy found it to be mushy. But using brownies makes this ooey, gooey and chewy!
For this fantastic dessert you will need:
one 13 x 9 extra deep baking pan (I baked my brownies in this pan, popped them out and used the same pan to make the bread pudding.)
2 packages of your favorite brownie mix baked according to package directions–cooled completely (I have used Betty Crocker brownie mix–and also the Barefoot Contessa’s Brownie Mix–available at www.kitchenkapers.com )
2 cups of sugar
5 eggs, beaten until lemony yellow
2 cups of milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup peanuts (optional)
Remove the cooled brownies from the pan, cut up into 1 inch cubes. Set brownies aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a large bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk, to that add sugar, milk and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Make a layer of some of the brownie cubes in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle that layer with half of the mini marshmallows and half of the peanuts.
Repeat the payers until you have used up all of the brownie cubes, mini marshmallows, and peanuts.
Pour egg mixture over brownie cubes and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Top with additional mini marshmallows, if desired, the top marshmallows they will get all nice and toasted in the oven.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until set. Serve warm. ENJOY!!
