Not only do I have a love affair with individual desserts, I’m also pretty obsessed with Amazon. With a new baby in the house, convenience is super important, so I find myself using my Prime account to buy everything from baby clothes to dog bones.
There’s really nothing better than having necessities (hello, salted caramel brownie brittle) delivered directly to your door. Let’s just say we’re on a first name basis with our amazing UPS delivery man. Although I’m fairly certain he secretly thinks we’re hoarders.
Last week, Lodge Miniature Cast Iron Pans popped up under the Amazon Recommends section and they promptly went into my cart. I adore cast iron pans, but mini cast iron pans takes that adoration to a completely different level.
I immediately started dreaming of mini frittatas, mini blueberry buckles, and cast iron skillet brownies. And it definitely didn’t take long for the mini skillet brownies to become a delicious reality.
I started with a decadent fudgy brownie base and folded in chocolate chips and toffee bits – because let’s be honest here, less is definitely not more when it comes to brownies.
They’re pretty perfect on their own, but if you’re really looking to push these skillet brownies over the edge, top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of hot fudge sauce and a sprinkling of toffee chips. They may put you in a minor food coma, but I promise, it will be worth every single bite.

In answer to the above question about substituting cocoa for unsweetened chocolate. The chocolate square is 1 ounce and that would be equal to 3 tablespoons of cocoa plus 1 tablespoon of butter.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. It sounds so delicious and we are chocolate lovers at our house.
Thank you, Donna! We’re chocolate lovers at our house, too!
Hi, Jamie!
These look so cute and very delicious. Can coca powder be substituted for the chocolate squares? If so, how much for the same serving? I looked through the comments (before posting) and didn’t see any similar questions. Thanks so much!
P.S. I love your site! :D
Janon-
Thanks so much for stopping by. I haven’t tried this recipe using cocoa powder, so I am not sure how it will work in this recipe. Sorry I am not more of a help.

I dont have a skillet that goes into the ove :-( can i make them in a normal muffin tin?
Hi, Tari! I think you could probably make them in a muffin tin. Make sure you watch them as they bake so they don’t get too done. I think the baking time would probably reduce by almost as much as half. I hope you enjoy them!
Hi Jamie!
I’m wondering how to make these in a 3.5 inch cast iron skillet (2 servings). Would really appreciate any info on the quantity/ratio of ingredients or even some tips on how to find these!
Thank you so much in advance :)

This recipe yields 5 servings when baked in a 3.5-inch skillet. I would cut the recipe in half to yield about 2.5 servings. Reducing the ratios to anything less may be a little difficult. I hope this helps!

Can this be made in one bigger cast iron skillet? Look yummy but don’t know where to find them that small.
Hi, Jeanne! I think they could be made in a bigger skillet. Just watch the baking time so they don’t over bake. I hope you enjoy it!
Made this several times now and it’s fantastic, I could kiss you Jamie ;)
