    Guilty Double Fudge Brownies

    December 2, 2020 / 2 Comments

    At this point, I’m almost rooting for Mickey to be found guilty because there is nothing innocent about these double fudge, super chocolate, decadent brownies. Filled with black cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips and topped with a fudge frosting, these will knock out every chocolate craving. Innocent men were found guilty. I didn’t want to be one of them.

For every innocent man, there is a guilty one. Balance this decadent brownie  with my sweet Innocent…

    One by One had me hooked on the food front within 20 short minutes. The delectable gourmet food that chef Danny kept rolling out was palatably enticing. Don’t worry- I have a scrumptious dish in the works but I wanted to throw the obvious recipe out as well. Avalanche Bars are quick, easy and gratifying. And the perfect compliment to this thrilling read.

    Cheesecake Brownies

    February 19, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Love cheesecake and brownies? Get two desserts in one with this super easy recipe. We’re bringing boxed brownies to the next level…… Nerdy Tips Brownies are unlike cake when checking for doneness- you do NOT want the toothpick to come out clean. Personally, I prefer my brownies under done to hard and crispy. Take them out according to the box directions. For very fudge like and moist brownies, take them out at the lowest recommended time. (Here, 35 mins) Cheesecake is similar- you do not want that toothpick clean. The best time to remove a cheesecake from the oven is when you shake the pan, it wobbles slightly. Jiggly is…

    The Cake This is basically a pound cake with a few minor adjustments, including extra eggs. Eggs are the magical ingredient. Their job in this batter is to provide structure. When heated, egg proteins coagulate and give stiffness to the cake- all the better for shaping our little petite fours. Nerdy Tips It’s important to cream the butter and shortening first then mixing in the sugar. It gives the end product structure by beating air into the butter, while the sugar helps to hold the air by dissolving, leaving little bubbles throughout the fats.  Mixing in the eggs one at a time helps to create a lighter, spongier cake.  Use a…
