You'll also mix in large portions of whipped cream for a much smoother and fluffier experience. The texture of these brownies go great with any of the ice cream alternatives that are still creamy.
Cream Cheese Brownies
Like other recipes, it's up to you if you want to smear your baked brownies with a cream cheese topping (typically made from cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla), or if you want to mix it into the batter before hand. Either way, the result is, among the different brownie flavors, one richly divine brownie. Try using different types of eggs to liven it up a bit, too.
Sweet & Salty Brownies
You can turn any types of brownies into sweet and salty ones, though your basic ones are best. Generally people will sprinkle them with sugar and then pour on caramel. On top of that you can shake some salt on top. Some will replace the sugar with syrups, too.
Peppermint Brownies
If you bake your typical brownie using canola oil, baking cocoa, and whatever else your recipe calls for, the result is will then be glazed with icing and then crushed up pieces of peppermint (like Christmas candy canes or breath mints), giving you peppermint brownies.
You can also choose to add peppermint extract into the batter if you want. Consider drizzling chocolate or vanilla syrups or chips onto the top, but never let it over-power the peppermint flavor.
