There are always classics that we need not mess with. Apparently Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae is one of them. This is a lesson I learned from my sweet husband. We quickly realized during our early dating months that we are both foodies (aka food lovers) as most of our dates, bonding experiences and explorations were food centered. Whether it was trying out a new restaurant in town, trying a new type of cuisine or cooking together from a new cookbook we always had a great time.
However, one of us is extremely particular in our taste (ahem, not me!). There are traditions that cannot be messed with. Like his mother’s lasagna or his dad’s scalloped potatoes which are wicked out of this world so I don’t even attempt to convince him otherwise. Likewise when he finds a favorite dish at a restaurant, he will order that 9 out of 10 times.ย Hot fudge brownie sundae is one of those. He orders it almost everywhere we go.
When I first suggested I make a brownie a few months ago, he goes ” Some things should not be messed with you know?” And I was perplexed. Seriously? After all I make for you dude? He strongly believes boxed brownie mixes are the best and none other than Betty Crocker. I couldn’t argue with his Betty Crocker choice because after my visit to the Betty Crocker kitchens last year, I understand how much love and recipe testing goes into every one of their products.
I caved last weekend as we were picking up our grilling essentials at Price Chopper’s House of BBQ. Over the summer, our dinners are usually grilled protein with veggies. And we love shopping at Price Chopper for all our summer grilling essentials. Among our steak and veggies for dinner that day, I grabbed a box of Betty Crocker brownie mix to make the hubs’ favorite classic dessert.
Being the baker that I am, I had to mess with it just a little. I added a swirl of creamy peanut butter to the moist dark chocolate brownie and some peanut butter chips just because. And knowing the man I married, peanut butter and chocolate rules anytime! This hot fudge peanut butter swirl brownie sundae is decadent, warm and a delicious treat we enjoyed at our last BBQ. Some classics are indeed not meant to be messed with…but a little twist doesn’t hurt anything. Just makes it better!!

Thanks Carrie for sharing! Easy recipes are my favorites ๐
Oh my, you know how I feel about chocolate and peanut butter. And I know how your husband does too, I know he must have loved these brownies!
I know ๐ You and Mr J are same same. PS: He loved loved those cupcakes!!!
YUM! This brownie sundae looks bomb! I’m so like your husband; I almost always order the same variety of thing when Gavin and I go out! Then he goes “wow yours tastes so much better than mine” because I know what I like at restaurants! Haha. I’m sure your husband definitely welcomed this twist on this sundae.
Jessica!!! I would not have guessed that at all. I am always trying new things on menus and sometimes i get disappointed and eat his dinner!!!
This looks amazing. I will always take a brownie sundae. In fact I should say this is how I take my ice cream – always with a brownie. I would have to agree with your husband that some things should not be messed with when it comes to food. I am not sure if brownies fit into this category but I will say you can do some pretty fantastic things to mixed brownies.
Hhahah! I like that…this is how I take my brownie lol! And shhhh don’t agree with him ๐
Is this brownie even real Zainab??? OH MY – It has to be one of the best desserts I’ve ever seen. Seriosuly, it looks so so so sinful! The chocolate + pb combo is always a winner! xx
It’s real and sinful is the word lol! Thanks dear!! SO great to see you are back. Missed you ๐
My boys would love you, this is amazing!!!
Hhaha thanks Matt!!

Thanks Robin! This is addicting!
Brownies are seriously one of my favorite things ever… add ice cream to it and call it a night! Love this recipe and the pictures with the melting chocolate Zainab! Scrumptious!
Thanks Krista!!
I am totally drooling, Zainab! These brownie sundaes look so great with that peanut butter swirl, the ice cream and the hot fudge! Definitely craving a big slice right now!
Thanks Beth! The swirl was a good idea and it made a big difference ๐
Zainab, this looks wonderful. Can’t wait to try.
Anne
Boxed brownie mixes are definitely awesome, but they are also my favorite base to blend in other things!
I never thought they would be that great!! Glad I listened lol!!
SO tempting looking – great shots!
Zainab, I’m loving the new look of your site. It’s so clean, modern, fresh ‘n fun, just like you! And girl, these photos are insanely tantalizing. I want to grab one of these brownie sundaes and shove it into my ravenous mouth.
Ooh Zainab, I could eat one of these right now they look so yummy! p.s. I LOVE the new logo and site design ๐
Ok, I am “for serious”. If I make these for my Hubs he will fall over. He LOVES brownie sundaes and then there is peanut butter all up in the ix?? Such a great reminder of how easy and delicious they are! Pinned!
This is rich and sweet treat.. My husband is not foodie so I think I would have to enjoy it alone ๐
Oh my gosh – this looks insane girl!!! Love love love everything – from the pics, new site design, logo and this sundae! I would be in heaven if you pass me that plate please – no fork needed ๐ Pinning!
Easy recipes like this are the BEST! And you can tooootally mess with brownie sundaes. Especially when you add peanut butter. This is gorgeous Zainab! Pinned!
I seriously starred at this for 30 seconds. Looks so good!
I know at least one man who would go face first into this brownie. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t be right behind him either!
I love this! I like homemade brownies, but the boxed versions can be so good! I love warm desserts served with ice cream. Great idea adding peanut butter chips!!
LOL! My brother feels the same exact way about boxed brownie mix. I have learned to just give in and give him what he wants, hey it saves me time! I love your new layout and this sundae looks AMAZING.
I know right? Saves so much time!! Thanks Meriem ๐
Now I reaaaalllly want a brownie!!! These look fabulous!
Thanks Jessica!!
Pass me one of those hot fudge sundaes stat! While I don’t necessarily agree with your husband on “some things shouldn’t be messed with” there are some things that are hard to beat. A hot fudge sundae is one of them. ๐
Haha thanks Julie! I don’t agree with him either and why I never listen :p
Okay, first of all YOUR NEW BLOG DESIGN LOOKS AHHHH-MAYYYY-ZINGGGGG!!!!!!! Loveeddddd it! And secondly, ohhhh la la!!!! Hot fudge brownie sundae!!!!! The most decadent chocolate dessert EVER! Yes, classics should not be messed with but everything is an exception when it’s peanut butter!!!!!!!! Yummmmm!!!!! Pinnnnning! <3
Yay! Thank you Samina! I am very happy with the new design ๐ Peanut butter makes it all worth it!
This has to be the most decadent dessert I haven’t seen in awhile !! It makes my jaw drop and salivate. *Drool* That scoop of ice cream is simply perfect with the drizzle. omg I need to stop looking at it!
Hahha yeah stop looking. I am drooling too ๐
Love chocolate and peanut butter, so you have the best of two worlds here. Thanks for sharing!
Right?? It doesn’t get better than PB and chocolate. Thanks Jodee! Hope you are having a great weekend ๐
That looks so decadent! I was shocked to find out that you used a mix. That’s awesome…now I feel like I might have a chance to duplicate it! Thanks so much for linking it up with us at Foodie Fridays!

OMG the Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Swirl Brownie Sundae is soooo awesome… I am drooling… I need it right now.. ๐
WHAAAAT???! He hasn’t tried the correct homemade brownie yet! And I’m sure some of the brownie sundaes he orders out aren’t boxed lol. Regardless, I’m glad you twisted this a bit-pb is ALWAYS a welcome addition! ๐
I know right? Crazy man indeed!! I am going to try one of your brownie recipes and I am sure he will be all over it.
