Brownie Brittle Founder Sheila G. Mains Launches First Cookbook

Sheila G. Mains, founder of award-winning Brownie Brittle and reigning "brownie queen," has released her first cookbook: Sheila G's Butter & Chocolate: 101 Creative Sweets and Treats Using Brownie Batter. The book is available in stores now.

The book includes Mains' "coveted, world-famous brownie and blondie recipes," however, she hopes her cookbook will inspire people to "think beyond brownies," according to a release.

Recipes include brownie-stuffed French toast, brownie doughnuts, cookie dough brownies, candy apple brownie cake pops, and a brownie mudslide cocktail. Mains' cookie dough brownies were the best-selling dessert at Disney World's Hollywood Studios for three years in a row.

"Once you have my signature base recipes down pat, you can get creative," Mains said. "Experiment with different shaped pans. Make cookies, bars, truffles, or ice-cream sandwiches using these tried-and-true recipes as your starting point."
