Speedy Little Devils
This speedy little devil recipe is a family favorite dessert. These are some of the best brownies you will ever have! Devil food cake for the bottom has a shortbread like consistency. Topped with an ooey, gooey layer of fluff and peanut butter mixture. If you’ve never had speedy little devils…do yourself a favor and make some!
Brownies are good, but these speedy little devils put plain old brownies to shame! They are so extra, and way better than your typical brownie.
I got this recipe from my grammy years ago. She would make this recipe for any birthday party gathering. It was always my favorite sweet treat to dig into!
With their being only 4 simple ingredients, this recipe is so quick and easy to make. However, strength wise, these can be a little on the sticky and tough side to put together.
I honestly never realized how hard fluff can be to bake with. It’s literally like glue.
When you mix the fluff and peanut butter together, you’ll know just what I’m talking about. It may be easier to use a hand held mixer to mix those two together. I felt daring and used a spatula and mixed by hand!
When you press your devil food cake mixture onto the bottom of your pan, your next step is to spread your peanut butter and fluff mixture on top. This part was also a little tricky. I realized that using my fingers was way easier than a spoon or spatula.
The entire time I was spreading out my fluff mixture, I just kept thinking of my sweet grammy. How in the world did she manage to make these brownies every year?! She must have had some strong wrists and hands!
It has been years since I’ve had these brownies. I want to say the last time I had them was at least 15, maybe even 20 years ago. Thats insane!
I forgot the taste, and how they looked. So it was pretty cool to have all of the memories and nostalgia come back to me as I was making these.
I must have done a pretty good job at baking these guys, because my first bite tasted exactly how I remember them tasting. Sweet, a little hint of salty, gooey, rich and dense!
I’m so happy I decided to make these speedy little devils. Ive missed them so!
Like I said, these aren’t your typical brownies. They are SO MUCH BETTER!
Enjoy!
