Yes, brookies not broekies and yes, it is actually a thing. Not too long ago I took my brookies to work and had all my co-workers in stitches when I told everyone that walked into our office they had to try my brookies. You see they thought I was saying broekies – a term some South Africans use when referring to their underpants. Only in South Africa, hey.

 

Okay, so many of you may know brookies – there are many recipes out there; but for those of you who thought I was talking about my sparkle pants when you heard brookies… brookies are basically the love-child between a brownie and cookie. Instead of saying brownie cookies, or cookie brownies – brookies was born.

 

Like I said many recipes are out there and brookie world is an exciting one to explore. But for now, here is the recipe for Sparkle Brooks.

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

HOW TO MAKE:

 

• Preheat the oven to 180˚ C.

 

• Mix the eggs, melted butter and brownie mix until smooth (but don’t overmix).

 

• Place a sheet of baking paper in a glass oven dish and spray with non-stick spray.

 

• Pour half of the brownie mix in the glass dish.

 

• Layer the biscuits over brownie mix.

 

 

 

 

• Slice the lunch bar into pieces and sprinkle over biscuits.

 

 

• Then pour the rest of the mix over.

 

 

• Bake for 40 minutes or until the batter is set (remember it needs to be harder than a brownie and softer than a hard biscuit).

 

 

• Melt the dark chocolate; one minute in the microwave – take out and stir. If its still not melted, place back in the microwave for ten seconds; take out stir and repeat, as needed.

 

• Pour the melted chocolate over the brookies.

 

 

• Decorate with smarties; and sprinkles. Allow the chocolate to set and cut into slices.

 

 

TA-DA! And that’s how you make Sparkle Brookies aka. Sparkle Brooks.
