I have partnered with Smart & Final to bring you this conversation. All opinions and experiences are 100% my own.
Mr. Pinkcakeplate loves loves loves brownies! He asks me almost daily to make him brownies so I surprised him with these triple decker, chocolate laden, extremely decadent Chocolate Ganache Cookie Dough Brownies!
If you love brownies you’re going to absolutely love these! The hardest part about them is waiting long enough for the ganache to harden so you can cut into these bad boys! These are not for the faint of heart. There are chocolate chips in the brownies, chocolate chips in the cookie dough filling and the ganache is heavy cream and more chocolate chips!
As usual, I started with First Street Brownie Mix. I love this brownie mix. The brownies always turn out moist, chewy, and delicious.
I love to go out in the mornings and get all my errands done. That way I have the rest of the day to just be at home and put around! So I love that Smart & Final is open at 7am! I love that I can find everything for these brownies at my favorite Smart & Final Store from my favorite food containers to fresh butter, milk and eggs.
If you live in California, Smart & Final is opening more than twenty new stores by the end of summer! Smart & Final Extra! stores are looking to save you from having to shop everyday by stocking their shelves with “every day” groceries such as shampoos, fresh produce, baked goods, to go meals and baby products, all at warehouse prices. Smart & Final Extra is my one stop shop.
Another pro to shopping at Smart & Final Extra! is that they are larger than regular Smart & Final stores, and will carry many more basic grocery items in smaller sizes. I love having the choice to shop smaller sizes in addition to warehouse sizes. Smart & Final is known for offering great values, and no membership fee! I promise you will find all the ingredients you need for these amazing, super easy-to-make brownies.
So, if you’re looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth these Chocolate Ganache Cookie Dough Brownies will fill the bill.
