Anne's Brownies
Hah!
How's your Christmas anyway ? Me ? Besides vacuuming the floor ? :D All I did was read , sleep , read , sleep , cook hahahaha
I was planning on baking my way thru next year but our kitchen scale had other idea tsk It expired after more than 5 years of hard labor . I had to buy the cheapest I could find and it's an old-fashion one , the brand's Tanita so it's a good quality . After using digital scale for a long time this one will take time getting used to :P , had to bend to better check the correct quantity ^-^"
So onto the brownies , I had to try making it with light brown sugar but of course I have to check some recipes online and some books I borrowed from the library for inspiration . And because I'm the one who's going to clean up , too *sigh* hee hee I had to steal some idea from this one pan brownies recipe so that I don't have to wash TOO MUCH things heh! Oh , these brownies are crunchy on top , gooey and chewy inside and it's really yummmm but since I made it , don't take my word for it heh!

These do look like my kind of brownies-yum! Your description does fit the picture and now I am ready for some of this chocolatey goodness.
ReplyDeleteI do not use a scale, but I use my clothes. If they fit tighter it is time to cut back! I did not indulge too much for Christmas-mainly because the family host this year does not like to cook, so the meal was just ok and no extra goodies for dessert.
I love those gorgeous brownies loaded with real chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Anne!
Thanks so much for sharing. Now I need to plan a party
ReplyDeleteYour brownie look to good and tasty! Happy New Year 2012 to you too..
