#TMCKitchenSeries: Fruits + Brownies = Fruit Cocktail Brownies

Feb 11, 2014 | Food

I always make it a point to bake every week. And last week, I decided to combine fruit cocktail and brownies into one. Fruit Cocktail browniesWhen it comes to brownies, people always use nuts, chocolate chips, corn flakes or even colored sprinkles. I have never eaten a brownie with fruits in it (okay fine, I tried the ones with cherry). So when I saw the recipe from a food magazine, which combines fruit cocktail and brownies, I decided to give it a try. And mommas, I promise you it tastes really good.

So here’s how to make easy fruit cocktail brownies.

What you’ll need:

Here’s how to do it:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2) Melt butter in a saucepan. Add the cocoa powder. Stir to dissolve

5) Put in the fruit cocktail. Take note that you don’t have to finish 1 can in the brownies. Just adjust the amount of fruits to be included in the mixture.

6) Spread into a greased pan and bake for 30 minutes or until brownies starts to pull away from the sides. Let it cool before cutting into bars.

Before and After

Before and After

The top is crispy on the outside but so moist and chewy on the inside. Plus, it gives that sweet, fruity flavor that blends well with the brownies. Try this easy brownie recipe. 

You can also opt not to use fruit cocktail and just stick with the plain brownies. Simply ditch the fruit cocktail from the recipe. Don’t forget to add more chocolate chips on top or nuts in case you prefer something to chew. The kids and kids-at-heart will surely love it.
