Let’s Discuss!
On my last menu planning post I included BBQ French Bread pizza. I realized I didn’t share how we make it. Did you see the recent reel I shared on how we have added a stuffed crust element? It’s so easy and really adds to the flavor. I only tried one new recipe. Here are our thoughts:
- Cookie Butter Brownies– I’m sad about these. They had so much promise. But they are way too rich. The brownie layer overpowers the cookie butter flavor. I think they would be better if the same recipe was made in a 9×13 pan so they are thinner (the crust was way too thick and so was the frosting). I also think a blondie layer would be better than brownie layer. BUT the frosting is really tasty! If you want a cookie butter frosting recipe, use this one!
I have one more week of school left and then summer starts for me! Sometimes I have more time to make dinner and I’m excited to try some new recipes like the Korean Meatloaf. It looks really yummy! I also found some new dessert recipes to try out that hopefully have better outcomes than the Cookie Butter Brownies.
Have you ever had a dessert that flopped? Let me know in the comments below! What other recipes from my Menu Planning 5/18-5/31/25 caught your eye?
