Weekend Recipe: Brownie in a Mug!

With this microwave-friendly recipe, you can go instant without relying on ready-made mixes! It's so easy that even your kids would love to prepare one for themselves--on their own, but with supervision, of course. It's perfect for a yummy snack treat for the kids, or a movie-night snack (one mug for each member of the family). If you feel like having a midnight snack, too, this brownie is an easy fave.

Makes 1 serving

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon water
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
• marshmallows, sprinkles, and chocolate malt balls for garnish

1 Place butter, sugars, and salt in a mug. Microwave for 20 seconds until butter is melted but not boiling.

2 Remove from microwave, stir well to combine, and whisk in egg. Add vanilla and water.

3 Mix in flour, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips, saving a few for garnish. 

4 Garnish with remaining chocolate chips, marshmallows, sprinkles, and malt balls.
