I love a good brownie. My favorite ones are the thick gooey ones. If there are chocolate chips, even better, but no nuts. Never nuts. So I was excited to try a new recipe from our family cookbook, but as we always do, with a little modification.
Again, Myke and I did not put nuts in the batter because we are not fans of nuts in brownies. However, if you watch the video, you can see that while the brownies taste good, they do need to have some kind of crunch. We are thinking of mini chocolate chips for the next batch.
One tip I will share, is about the parchment paper. I used to get so frustrated because every cake/brownie/loaf I made would get stuck on the bottom of the pan. Parchment paper is the best thing to help keep that from happening. Spray the bottom of the pan then add the parchment paper, then spray again, this helps both the cake and the paper release easily.
The next time we make this recipe, not only are we going to add some mini chocolate chips, but we are going to bake the brownies in a glass cake pan. The baking sheet worked perfectly fine, but we were wondering how they would be if the brownies were thicker. Also, I do need to let the frosting cool. Once the frosting hardened, the contrast with the brownie was delicious.
Unfortunately, we have no idea where this recipe came from as the card didn’t have it written down and my mom couldn’t remember where she got it. So to the anonymous person who gave us this recipe, THANK YOU!
