Talk about a Rainy Monday my sweets! What has you more down, the rain or the fact that its Monday? I heard so many complaints, and even saw a lot of those Facebookers commenting about having the blues! So I thought what type of yummy treat would be great and very comforting. Then I thought ohhh something with peanut butter, cause who doesn't love peanut butter! I was speaking to someone very close to me who requested some brownies, so I figured why not combine the two!
Off to the laboratory ( what I like to call the kitchen remember) to find me some ingredients I needed to help cure someone's Monday Blues. I decided if I wanted to make my brownies extra peanut butter then I would have to add both peanut butter spread, and also peanut butter chips. Reese's peanut butter cups have nothing on these brownies! Brownies tend to be an favorite of just about anyone you meet, and I know from my experience talking with people they all have certain ways they like their brownies. And of course some people like those " Special" ones, but from what I'm told those just make you even more hungry!
Heres a tip, whenever you are going to make brownies, and you would like to add something, for example chips, or perhaps you want each brownie when you bite into it to get that melty gooey center. The best way to achieve this is to freeze whatever it is that you want to melt in your brownie! I actually got the idea watching a cooking show a long time ago and the host was making some random food dish and she was making a gravey that she wanted to melt when you put your fork into the meal. It actually works for great for another sweet treat that we will speak about in a another time! Its a dish I created in honor of my bestest best, and named after her, one in which she swears when I have my own bakery will be the number one seller!
I digress, back to today's brownies! When making brownies, I find that you can do a couple of things that might mess up the mix so to speak. Your brownie can be to fudgey ( I know what your thinking never, however there is such a thing as too much fudge!) which can make it heavy and dense. Its a brownie that is not moist at all, and it is not a pleasant treat. You can also burn the edges very easily, which ruins the fun cause the edges are possible 90% of peoples favorite part (i'm partial to the center myself). Quick tip to help avoid this, whatever the recipe calls for, whether is the box brownie or from scratch, just add a little more water. For example if it says 1/4, go for 1/3. The tiniest bit does help. The reason I say this is because, recipes for brownies differ so much, I really don't think any specific on is right. Thats just my opinion. Why don't you tell me yours? Please feel free to leave a comment regarding brownies and recipes you've tried.
