Once again thanks for checking out my blog. Last night I naturally went to bed thinking about what I would cook the next day. In my mind it would be a beautiful, sunny day & I would make a light, refreshing dish for when I cooled off from the extreme heat outside. This morning reality kicked me in the face. It was a dreary day, and my desire to make something light & refreshing disappeared. What do you do when this happens some may ask? You make brownies. Brownies are one of the ultimate comfort foods in my opinion. Nothing beats the days of my childhood when I'd come home from school, and my Mom's brownies were coming out of the oven. With a quick hello, I would shove 4 of them in my mouth, and run back outside to play with my friends. Because of those awesome brownies I knew the rest of the day would be awesome as well. This was mostly true except for the one day I came home, ate brownies, went outside to play, and proceeded to break my arm. That's a story for another day, but let's get back to the brownies I made today. My laziness was in full force, so I wanted a recipe that didn't require me to shop for ingredients. I found a recipe at http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/milk-chocolate-brownies/.
Here is how I made Milk Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients:
3/4 C flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/3 C unsalted butter
2 tbsp milk
3/4 C sugar
1 C milk chocolate chips
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
*Preheat oven to 325
*Combine flour, salt, & baking soda in a medium sized bowl. Set aside
*Melt butter, milk, and sugar in a saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil.
*Once at a boil, take the saucepan off the heat. Stir in chocolate chips.
*Transfer chocolate mixture to a medium sized bowl. Stir in eggs.
*Stir vanilla extract & flour mixture into chocolate & egg mixture.
*Pour into greased 8x8 square baking pan, and bake at 325 degrees for 20-22 minutes.
*Enjoy!
Not the most aesthetically pleasing
cutting job I've ever done, but hey
they tasted good.
Thoughts on the recipe: I thought these brownies were good. Yes there were other recipes online that were a little more sophisticated. Some of them had you use double boilers & what not, but for the simplicity of this recipe, the brownies came out good. The chocolate flavor was there, but not in your face. Next time I may double the chocolate chips, but this recipe gave me the fix I was looking for. The brownie was nice & moist in the center, and to prove things haven't changed since my childhood, I shoveled 3 of them in my mouth. If that's not proof of a successful dish, then I have no idea what is. Try this easy recipe if you're craving a good batch of brownies. Hopefully you'll already have the ingredients, and won't need to go to the grocery store.
Thanks for checking out my blog everyone. Talk to ya next time.
