S’mores Brownies

August 11, 2011 |

Even though we’re inching closer to September and a bounty of apples, pumpkin, fall baking, jeans and hoodies, and football, there are still quite a few days of summer left to enjoy. And nothing is better on a warm summer evening than a s’more. Spearing a big marshmallow on a chiseled stick, holding it over [...]

Next to the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, there are few combinations that I love more than chocolate and cream cheese. Whether it’s in the form of a cheesecake, or something like these brownies, I swoon. I love how the richness of the chocolate is cut with the cool creaminess of the cream cheese. [...]

Brownies are sort of like cheesecake, aren’t they? There’s nothing better than the perfect dense, fudgy brownie, just like not much can beat a classic piece of creamy cheesecake. Yet with both of these desserts we’re always fiddling around with different versions, swirling things in and layering things on the top and the bottom (incidentally, [...]

There are peanut butter brownies, salted caramel, mint, Oreo, cheesecake… you name an ingredient, and I guarantee a brownie has been made with it. Below are my 10 all-time [...]

Last weekend my Chief Culinary Consultant and I braved the crowds (and the heat) at the outlets and did some Memorial Day weekend shopping. It just so happened that the first store we stumbled upon was the Williams-Sonoma outlet. Swoon. They had some some things outside for a “sidewalk sale” and I noticed a stack [...]

It’s been a little while since I threw chocolate and peanut butter together in a sweet concoction. In fact, it’s been nearly a month since I made the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream. A month without chocolate and peanut butter together is much too long in my little world! Plus, I hadn’t been in [...]

There are times when the cosmic forces of the blogging world all come together and I have an “a ha” moment about what exact recipe I should try next. One of those glorious moments occurred last week. A reader left a comment on my Facebook page asking if I had a recipe for a white [...]

So, do you happen to remember the insane brownies that I made quite awhile ago, the Marshmallow Crunch Brownie Bars? They’re a layer of brownies, then ooey gooey marshmallows, and then topped with a combination of melted chocolate, peanut butter and Rice Krispies. Well, those brownies and these brownies could be sexy twin sisters. What’s [...]

The famed Baked brownie. Oprah says it’s one of her favorite things. America’s Test Kitchens says its their favorite brownie. I don’t put much stock in Oprah, but America’s Test Kitchens are pretty much like the bible when it comes to all things kitchen. I check their reviews before any other recipes, and before I [...]
