Making brownies today ....chocolate fudge brownies.....
very, rich....and sinfully good
just how I like my men....(wink)
Okay joking aside, including a couple recipes for brownies encase anyone else has a hankering for rich things today. And for my Aussie and Scottish friends who don't know what a brownie is or has never had one., think of chocolate cake...that has fallen. It has about that much volume...and density.
Fudge Topped Brownies
1 cup butter (or margarine) melted
2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
2/3 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
Fudge Topping
12oz package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
extra walunts (optional)
Preheat over to 350 degrees . Combine brownie ingredients. Spread in 9 x 13 inch pan, sprayed with cooking spray (pam). Bake 40 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from pan.Just before brownies are done, melt chips, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Immediately spread over HOT brownies. Cool... chill...cut into bars.
Okay personally I omit the fudge topping all together, the brownies have already got enough sugar to send me spinning. You can just dust with powdered sugar or use a thin powdered sugar glaze.
Okay for those non-chocolate loving people ........(I gasp at the thought)...
Blonde Brownies
1 stick butter (melted)
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp.vanilla
Mix brownie ingredients and spread in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees till lightly brown on top, about 20-30 minutes. Cool and frost with powdered sugar icing.
Options:
1. Add 3/4 cup flaked coconut to the batter before baking and sprinkle additional coconut on top of frosting.
2. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips to the batter. Bake, cool, and omit frosting.
3. Add 1 cup chopped pecans to the batter. Frost with powdered sugar icing that has been flavored with oranje juice concentrate.
Bon appetite!

Ms Viccles, the thought of rich, sinfully good ANYTHINGS makes me drool! Kind of like walking into the craft shop that's just a block away - absolutely nothing from the outside - white painted glass and just one little hoarding 0n the kerb, but laden with goodies unimaginable inside! :)) I'm thinking I'll join Dixie and try the recipe(s). :D
