Before I get started, I've decided to do a baking blog instead of what I was doing before (random things like a journal).
I baked some brownies fresh today. They are mint chocolate chip with candy cane on top. I modified a regular brownie recipe to make minty ones. I added a quarter teaspoon of mint extract and half a cup of mint chocolate chips. We crushed about half of one candy cane and sprinkled it on top before putting it in the oven for half an hour. After taking them out, we all had a taste... SO GOOD!!!! They were gooey - not to gooey and they were warm and moist and just minty enough. We'd give them 5 stars!!!!!! (out of 5)
This is the recipe I followed:
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 1/3 cup shortening (I used butter)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- 3/4 cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 mint chocolate chip
- about half a candy cane crushed on top
I am not a fan of mint but they do look good. Bring some at Christmas
ReplyDeleteI can attest that these were very delicious brownies. I have since tried some of T-Bone's other variations on brownies and they too have been excellent. I'm surprised you share your recipe on the blog.... don't you want to keep it top-secret in case you become famous one day?? :)
ReplyDeletei hope you will post about your dad's birthday cake too. The picture looked so yummy!
