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.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi! The directions say to divide among five 3.5 inch skillets, so if using 5 inch skillets how many do you use? I’m guessing it may fit into 3? Thanks!
Cristina-
I would say that 3 would be about right. Thanks for stopping by.
-Jamie
wow. thanks. i am going to try in my large cast iron. the mini’s are a bit on the expensive side to make .
Dianna-
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Do you think the recipe would work in one large skillet?
Sarika-
I do think you could bake it in one large skillet. You may need to adjust the baking time. I hope this is helpful.
-Jamie
How long would the baking time be if I use a 6 inch skillet?
I think the cooking time is going to be close to the same. Oven cooking times can vary, so I would keep an eye on them at about 20 minutes.
-Jamie
What a beautiful dessert! I’m pinning this for later :)
Shareba-
Thank you so much! Have a great day and thank you for following MBA!

I cannot wait to make these!
These are so cute – good thing they are individual portions, I don’t think I’d share.
