Good recipe additions?!


Question: I am in a bake off competiion and we have to bake something other than cookies. They said to try and make your item "stand out".I really want to win, but all my cookbook recipes are pretty dull and boring! I was thinking of using a general brownie recipe, but adding a couple little twist for flavor, then cutting them into small squares and glazing them with icing to make mini-cakes! But I cant think of anything that would go good with the recipe that I could add.Here is the recipe:

brownie mix-
3/4 c. flour
1/4 c.+2 tbs. cocoa powder
1 c. sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c. apple sauce
3 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla

Icing:
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. cocoa powder
3 c. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

(I know the recipes may look weird, they are from a healthy living cookbook)

What can I add to either the brownie mix or the icing to make them really stand out?

After you take them out of the oven, sprinkle with miniature marshmallows, choc chips and nuts (Rocky Road Squares) and put it all back in the oven until the marshmallows are a golden brown colour. Everyone loves them.

Ground almonds for part of the flour, + almond essence. Brownscotti!

Cut the brownies horizontally into three layers. Then spread on peanut butter or nutella and add a layer of fruit. Bananas would be wonderful with peanut butter. Then stack all the layers back up and frost all of it!

my sister is a Brownie freak she saw on the Paula dean show and she made it oh my god it was great on the bottom of your pan she lined it with Hershey chocolate bars 1.55 ounce 6 or 7 of them now my husband makes them all the time not a good time to be on weight watchers
