They say you shouldn’t eat your feelings, but these therapy brownies work some magic. Rich, fudgy, and packed with white chocolate chips and cashews.

Awhile ago I saw a post by Muddy’s with a picture of their Therapy Brownie which lead me to ask, “what makes it therapy other than being a delicious dessert?” Apparently it’s the genius addition of white chocolate and cashews! Although I have yet to try one for myself (because for some reason I only think of going there when they are closed Sun/Mon), I decided to whip up a version of what I imagine they would be like.
I used the recipe for The Baked Brownie, but omitted the espresso powder. Mostly because I don’t like coffee flavorings but also because I couldn’t find any in the store. And to the original recipe I just added white chocolate chips and cashews.
I cannot believe I never thought of adding white chocolate and cashews to a brownie before! The end result was the best freaking brownie I have had in a long time. It was thick, chewy and fudgy but not too dense and also had a flaky top. In other words it was my idea of perfection.
If you don’t like nuts or other foreign bodies in your brownies, you seriously need to at least try the base for these brownies. It is my new favorite brownie recipe!

[…] my almost 5 years of blogging I had yet to find the perfect brownie recipe. Sure I have made some epic from scratch brownies, but none have stuck as an everyday recipe. But don’t fret! This problem has been solved. […]
Wow, these brownies mean business!! They look incredibly gluttonous but so so worth it. I need to start making brownies, that’s one thing I never seem to get to!
Brownies are my favorite thing EVER :)
I’m totally on board with this type of therapy :)
Whoa, these sound fantastic. I think the cashew is my favorite nut…and I’m now wondering why I haven’t added them to brownies yet, as well!
Ahhhh the Baked Brownie has been on my list for awhile-but the espresso powder has kept them getting pushed off. Maybe now I’ll try without it!
I need therapy and I need these brownies.
These brownies are my kind of therapy! Love the idea of adding cashews to brownies!
Yum! Really craving brownies now. Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at brewedtogether.com
I could totally use some therapy brownies :). Yums!
We agree with Tonia.. Our kind of therapy!! YUm!
Now that is my kind of therapy! :)
Whoa, five eggs! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a brownie recipe with that many. Maybe that’s why they’re so dense and fudgy (I mean, aside from the 11 oz. of chocolate…).
I know! Totally surprised me and I had to go buy more eggs haha.
Cashews and white chocolate! Yum.
I think I need therapy everyday now, if it means I get a brownie!
Haha I totally agree!
