M&M BROWNIES ON THE GRILL

“Take brownies to a place they seldom go and enjoy that smile that brownies so often make show.  Enjoy!”

Two 15 oz cans White Beans

1/2 cup Butter

1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1 Tablespoon Espresso Powder

3/4 cup Sugar

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 cup Flour

1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour

1/4 cup Cocoa Powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/2 cup M&Ms

 

Heat your grill on high until it is preheated to about 500 degrees.

Open the cans of beans.  Remove the beans and save for later use in some other dish.  Set aside the tin cans, after the paper has been removed from the exterior.

In a microwave, melt together the butter, chocolate chips, and espresso powder.  This takes about 1 minute.  Stir immediately afterward.

Mix together the sugars and melted chocolate mixture.

Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.

Mix in the flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix in the M&Ms.

Fill each tin can about 3/4 full with brownie batter.  You will have some batter remaining that you can eat raw as a snack (I won’t tell).

Turn off one side of the grill (leave the other side on high).

Place the two cans on the side of the grill that is off.  Place the lid back over the grill.

Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Remove from heat.  Cut any burnt brownie off the top.

Scoop out two servings from the center of each can.  Leave any overdone brownies on the sides (don’t feel bad, they made it work, their sacrifice made it all worthwhile).

 

Makes about 4 servings.
