Get those grills fired up… because it’s #CookoutWeek 2017! This week, I’m joining forces with over 40 food blogger friends to bring you delicious recipes perfect for every backyard BBQ, picnic, summer party, or cookout. Not all are for the grill. You will find delicious desserts, refreshing drinks, great side dishes and more so be sure to check each day for new recipes. I’m starting the week off with brownie pie. If you’ve read my blog long enough you know my family loves brownies. Between brownie and blondie recipes I have five on the blog at this time and since it’s been a while, I’m posting a family favorite today, brownie pie. I’ve actually been making this recipe for years, it’s from Hershey Kitchens, and can’t believe it’s not on my blog yet. Maybe it was meant to be posted this week because it is perfect for any backyard cookout or barbecue. Potluck too. It’s easily made ahead plus it’s super easy to transport. I made this last Pi Day for my son to take into his Math class as a treat. The kids loved it and it held up well to being transported. Eat it as is or top with freshly whipped cream or make a brownie sundae with ice cream, fudge sauce, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry.

- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
