Brownies

Sometimes when I crave junk food I crave HARD and there are only certain things that will fill that sugary hole in my stomach. Brownies are one of those things, not rubbishy crumbly prepackaged stuff that tastes like slightly sugary dirt, homemade all the way.

I'M SAD
FEED ME  CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS!!

I got this recipe ages ago and every time I make it I put a new spin on it. One time I put big chunks of white chocolate in and they sunk to the bottom and burned slightly, but I loved the burnt chocolatey flavour for some reason! Sometimes I sprinkle mini smarties on the top for crunchyness and once I poured the batter into cupcake cases and put an oreo in the middle of each one. thats something you actually HAVE to do, tastes amazing and you can surprise people with them.

Also. Add peanut butter. Best ingredient in the world ever.

these ones have oreos with peanut butter inside baked into them.

Now the basic recipe I got from a stumbleupon session and I have never been able to find the site again :( I would love to name them though so all credit goes to you! you wonderful anonymous bakers!

Happy baking! love Frankles

Brownie mix recipe

1/2 cup White Sugar
2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
2 tablespoons Water
1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Step 1 – Add Sugar and water into a sauce pan.  Warm on Med Low heat to start melting the sugar.  As the water heats up add the butter.  Stir so the mixture does not burn.  If it starts to boil large bubble turn down heat.  We want a smooth even heat to melt the sugar but not to get the mixture too hot.  (If it were to get too hot the eggs would cook the instant we added them.)  Remove from the heat.

Step 2 – Slowly add chocolate chips to sugar, water and butter mix.  Stir the chips until they melt.

Step 3 – Add the eggs to the melted chocolate.  Gently stir the mixture until the eggs have mixed well.  Once the eggs have been mixed add the Vanilla Extract.

Step 4- Add the Baking Soda and Salt then stir.  Next add the All-Purpose Flour.  I add half the flour then stir then add the rest.  Gently stir until the brownie batter is brown again..

Step 5 – Pour mixture into a greased 8×8 inch square pan.  Place in a 325 degree preheated oven.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until brownies set up.
