Pro Tips

Mix by Hand: Personally, I just like using a whisk for this brownie sundae recipe, but you could also use a electric hand or stand mixer instead. The brownie batter amount is just so small I don't like having to wash my big mixer, but do whichever method you prefer!

Don't Over-Stir: Make sure to not over-stir the brownie batter when you add in the dry ingredients. This will help the brownies get a nice fudgey texture.

Serving Suggestions

This skillet brownie sundae is dang delicious on its own. You could easily just take a spoon and dig in strait away, or you could add on some extras to make your skillet brownie into a next level sundae. My personal favorite toppings are:

• Sliced Strawberries
• Hot Fudge
• Vanilla Ice Cream
• Whipped Cream

Of course you could add anything from caramel, cookies and cream ice cream, sliced banana or whatever you have. This skillet brownie recipe can be customized to your liking and preference, so let your creativity fly! If you find some awesome combos I would love to hear about them in the comment section.

Big Brownie Sundae

ABSOLUTELY, you can make this mini brownie into a macho size! A very common size iron skillet in everyone's kitchen cabinet is the 10 or 12 inch size. If you do not have a mini skillet and instead would just like to use what you have I completely understand. Luckily, it is very simple to convert this skillet brownie recipe to accommodate a larger skillet.

Plus, more yummy skillet brownie so that is always a win. Simply double all of the ingredients of the recipe and follow the exact same prep steps. Also, keep the same baking temperature; but extend the cook time. I would start with baking the skillet brownie for 30 minutes and checking it and adding an additional 5 minutes if needed. It is finished baking when a toothpick comes out mostly clean, so just go by that.
