Little brownies ready for their overseas trip
Double Chocolate Chip Brownies Cheater alert: I used the Ghiradelli brownie mix I bought at Costco--6 bags for like $7. Can't beat it. But I fooled around with things to make it more....so: Ingredients 1 bag of Ghiradellia chocolate brownie mix 1 egg 1/3 cup melted butter (they say oil but butter makes a richer brownie) 1/3 cup water handful of almond nuts (pistachios are great but anything else is fine), chopped 1 tablespoon grated orange peel (more if you like but this is a generous amount) 1. In a good size bowl, pour in the mix and add the egg and the water. Stir about 30 times with a wooden spoon until the batter is just smooth. 2. Add nuts and orange peel and mix well. 3. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until brownies test done with a wooden pick. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Optional: Think about frosting the brownies with whatever you like--chocolate and cream cheese are awfully nice, as is straight peanut butter. You'll just have to put a layer of waxed paper between them when you ship. But if they stick together, what the hell?! They'll still be appreciated. |
