A few weeks ago I was catching up on my favorite blogs, and reading about Bakerella’s trip to the Home and Housewares Show when I spotted a new product from Chicago Metallic – an amazing mold to make Brownie Bowls. Shut the front door. BROWNIE BOWLS.
I couldn’t hurry myself over to the Chicago Metallic website fast enough. And there they were. An amazing set of Brownie Bowls for $10.99. Shopping cart, checkout, start stalking UPS trucks… And they arrived. The UPS left them by the door and ran back to his truck (I think he’s afraid of me – sometimes I get really excited when I know that he’s bringing me stuff like, well, Brownie Bowls).
The possibilities are endless. Ice cream. Mousse. Fruit. My morning cereal. Think of all the ways to use them! So let’s give them a try.
Because I’m on a bit of a Hot Cocoa kick lately, I decided to try some Hot Cocoa Brownies. Here’s what you need…
Hot Cocoa Brownie Bowls
Makes Four Bowls
3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 of Hot Cocoa Mix
1/4 cup of Cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1 stick of butter, melted
1 Tablespoon Oil (such as canola, vegetable, coconut..)
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine butter, oil, vanilla, sugar and egg in one bowl, and combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. If you butter is still hot from melting, mix it with the sugar prior to adding the egg to it. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until combined. Spray your Brownie Bowls with cooking spray. I put my brownie batter into a large Ziploc bag, clipped off the end and piped it into the Brownie Bowls. Because it’s a fairly thick recipe, I did have to spread it with a mini spreader to get it to fit the mold perfectly. I cooked two bowls at a time, and each took about 17 minutes, but ovens vary, so plan between 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool a few moments. Transfer onto plate or cooling rack. Clean your Brownie Bowl molds, respray, refill and repeat baking.
The Brownie Bowls worked wonderfully and came out of the molds so easily. LOVE these.
While you could just eat the bowl, I mean it is a brownie, it’s probably more fun to actually fill it with something, right? Well when I saw that Breyers made a Birthday Oreo Ice Cream, it simply had to be put in a Brownie Bowl.
Yum!!!
I really love these Brownie Bowls. So much fun. So many possibilities.

Definitely make Angel food cake bowls and fill it with ice cream, crumbled oreos, and hot fudge sauce 🙂
Angella Wilson says
So many different options… ice cream, pastry cream, pudding, mousses. Fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream would definately be something I’d make! I would also be interested to see what ideas my kids would come up with. Great for a summertime bbq!

I would let the kids from my little school, decide what they would like to do with them and then we would have a bake day and make whatever they wanted. This is a perfect thing for kids because it is so easy and easy for them to help with. The possibilities would be endless with their clever thinking minds.

I would love to win this prize! These bowls would be the perfect addition to my small business, which by the way is called The Brownie Bowl. They give the term “brownie bowl” to life and I would love to create special items to add to our menu using this product.
Mary says
I just got my bowls in the mail. I am going to make banana pudding with vanilla cookies and topping with whipped cream and crushed vanilla waffers.

These would come in handy for a birthday bash (either for kids or adults) 🙂 I would use these for candy or a strawberry mousse.
Sarah says
I would make brownie bowls for ice cream sundaes for the rest of my life! So delicious and for me, the more chocolate the better!
