I'll never make it in the food porn business.
Today, I tried to create the food porn that seems to have taken over all of my social media feeds. It even brags about how easy it is. It seemed like it was the ultimate slut in the food porn world, so much so that it touted itself as such.
Slutty Brownies.
We're hitting Epic Meal Time proportions of food porn on this one. Brownies, Oreos, chocolate chip cookies.
All you have to do, is put down the cookie dough. Top the cookie dough with Oreos. Spread the brownie mix on top. Bake as instructed and VOILA! You have food porn.
Unless you're me.
It all started out innocently enough. I bought my supplies and came home to get my hands dirty.
I followed those rules perfectly. Layered my cookie dough (the best I could), topped it with Oreos, and then covered with my brownie mix.
I tried to cover it with my brownie mix anyway. I placed it in the oven for the longest amount of time the box told me to. The brownies still weren't cooked, so back in it went. Then it came out a few more times before my knife came out clean.
However, once I dived into the slutty goodness...I was met with surprise. Some parts of the brownie mix didn't cook all the way through. Some parts of the brownie mix were burnt.
Being a baked good pimp was supposed to be easy. These were supposed to be the classiest escorts on any dessert table.
And yet...I failed.
I think my career as a slutty baked good pimp ended when I couldn't find the tubs of cookie dough in my grocery store. I thought they were frozen, clearly they are not. (My mother corrected me on them being in the refrigerated area.) I purchased the frozen cookie dough.
While the cookie dough isn't what caused me problems, I'm still going to blame it. Why blame it? BECAUSE I WILL NOT FAIL AT MAKING SUPER EASY RECIPES!
There will be another attempt at these in the future, and next time, those slutty brownies will fall right in line.
