Knock You Naked Brownies

You guys. I have just come to terms with the fact that I am obsessed with brownies. I mean first there were the slutty brownies, and then there were the cousins to slutty brownies, and now, today, on this very special day, I made you Knock you Naked Brownies.

You see, today we are celebrating a very special persons 2nd cookbook, Food from my Frontier. She’s pretty awesome. Totally amazing. And you may know her. (and if you don’t, clearly you’ve been living under a rock) Her name is Ree, aka The Pioneer Woman. And she totally rocks. (and so do these brownies – just ask my yoga pants – even those are a little tighter than usual)

Ree is one of the most kind and funny people I’ve met to date in this fun food blogging world of ours. She’s down to earth and just wonderful. Not to mention her recipes are always crowd pleasers. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve made her recipes for dinner parties, clients, and everyone else and they are always impressed! So when I received her latest cookbook a few weeks ago, after drooling over every single recipe, I decided that the knock you naked brownies needed to be shared. They will rock your socks off. [and maybe even your clothes according to the title 🙂 ]

And here is what happened. I made these about 2 weeks ago with every intention of photographing them a few hours after they came out of the oven. Well, that didn’t work. I took a little spoon and had a small nibble. And that small nibble turned into me eating pretty much half of the brownie pan and then hiding the entire thing from my fiance so I didn’t look like a total fatty when he came home. I mean I’m supposed to be getting in shape for my wedding here people. So I hid the brownie pan so no one could see my evidence. Then I made another batch a few days later so I could snap a quick pic…. but friends came over for dinner and devoured them before I got a chance to have my moment with these little beautiful brownies. So finally, 3 days ago, I made a batch late one night and stuck them immediately in the fridge and went to bed. Then, first thing in the morning I grabbed my camera and went to town. And as a reward…well I had one for breakfast and then immediately sent the rest to work with Thomas so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat my THIRD pan in 2 weeks.

A few of my favorite bloggers and I got together to share some of our favorite recipes from Ree’s new book to celebrate her today! She’s just wonderful. And you should totally get the book. It’s amazing.

To hold you over till you can hustle out to Barnes and Noble, or click on over to Amazon, here’s the recipe for her Knock you Naked Brownies. Do me a favor. Make these. Immediately. They will totes rock your world.

  7. I have made these brownies……they are to die for as Ree says. I would love to have her new cookbook. I love so many of her recipes.

  8. Oh my do those brownies look wonderful… makes my mouth water! Crossing my fingers that I may be one of the ones picked.

  10. My family loves, loves, loves brownies! These look fantastic and I can’t wait to make them this weekend!

  11. Sounds like something I would do. I ate my husbands giant Hershey Kiss and had to go out Christmas eve and find one. I couldn’t help it. I’m having a chocolate coma right now just looking at these wonderful brownies. Hmm. I guess I’ll have to get into my chocolate stash.

  12. I just hopped over from Pinterest – and I’m glad to know there’s a new book! Thanks for the heads up. Is Ree over at Pinterest, too? Just wondering.

  15. Would love to win the new cookbook. The first one has lived on my countertop since receiving it.

  16. Chocolate and caramel – what’s not to love? Those are two of my favorite food groups!

  19. I need this book to go with my first book. I am a total Ree fan. I have given her book to everyone i know. I agree she is awesome. Your brownies look amazing. Blessings

  20. Pick me! Pick me! Her first cookbook was the first cookbook I have ever read cover to cover immediately after receiving!

  21. I was just thinking about making brownies to celebrate our 35 th wedding anniversary, when I turned my iPod on and seen these. They look amazing. Will buy the Carmel’s tomorrow ( to tired to go back to town tonite) I m sure my husband will love these, German chocolate is his favorite.

  25. I stumbled across Ree a few years a go and am avid fan ever since. I follow her FB, watch her FoodNetwork and have turned many of my family and friends onto her. Your right, her recipes are great and so is she. I always go to Pioneer Women when I need a recipe – in fact, tonight I needed a quick banana muffin recipe for a child who has been sick and isnt interested in anything but muffins. You guessed it, I made Ree’s. Yummy – the kids love them.

  30. I will definitely make these brownies–they look soooooo good! I really need Ree’s new cookbook. 🙂

  38. Ree is awesome! I follower her blog and have tried quite a few of her recipe…guess I need to try this one!

  44. These brownies look amazing, but they look anything but “naked”!! I collect cookbooks and I love to read them even though I can’t cook near as much as I used to. I would love to have either or both of Ree’s cookbooks. Thank you for the chance of winning one of them!!!
