HOW TO MAKE THE BROWNIE SUNDAES
- In a large bowl, whisk together boxed brownie mix, eggs, oil and water until fully combined.
- Place all six waffle bowls on a baking sheet.
- Cut 6 pieces of foil about 15 inches long (it’s best to pull out 2 sheets, stack them and cut three equal strips from each piece) and wrap the rim of each bowl tightly.
- Divide the batter evenly between the six waffle bowls, they will each be about half way full.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Once they are done baking, carefully move them to a cooling rack for about 5 minutes then remove the foil.
- They are ready to be served, just add your favorite toppings!
HELPFUL NOTES:
- You can of course use any type of brownie mix, just follow the ingredients on the back of the box…each type is different and may call for more eggs, or, water or the use of milk.
STORAGE AND REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. No need to put them in the refrigerator. I suggest popping them into the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the brownie a bit if you are eating them as leftovers!
FAQS & SUBSTITUTIONS/VARIATIONS:
Chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavors are some classic ice cream flavors that you can’t go wrong with, but you don’t necessarily need to stick to those. You can also try out different variations like mint chocolate chip, strawberry and even chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream.
These brownie sundaes are ridiculously easy to put together, which means you can experiment to your heart’s content with the toppings. Use the classics like chocolate sprinkles, chocolate sauce and caramel sauce or throw in some crushed Oreos, mini marshmallows or even Maraschino cherries.
Yes, you definitely can! Salted pecans, salted peanuts and crushed walnuts are all excellent choices. They can add a nice crunch factor to the brownie sundaes.

NOTES
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. No need to put them in the refrigerator. I suggest popping them into the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the brownie a bit if you are eating them as leftovers!
- Don’t use cracked bowls! If you open the waffle bowl package and notice that one or two of the bowls have a slight crack, I suggest not using those. The batter will leak out during baking.
- Is it really necessary to add foil? YES! This prevents the bowls from spreading out and losing their shape and keeps the edges from burning. I included an image of what the bowl looks like after being baked using foil and what one looks like without foil.
- It’s super easy to double this recipe to make it for a larger crowd! And these are perfect for kiddos to help with and add their own toppings to each of their bowls!
