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.

Ooh, I got mini skillet pans a few months ago and have only used them once (for cobbler) since then. Looks like I need to bust them out for these brownies!
I can’t stop looking at these photos! And thinking about how I very much need to get my hands on a skillet! Amazing!
Why is it that everything looks so much better in mini form? lol! Cute skillets, and it looks like SUCH an amazing recipe!

I don’t have that many small skillet but would the cooking time change a lot if I put it in one large one? These look great!

I would start checking the brownies after about 34-40 minutes. I think they’ll be fine in one skillet. :)
