What's yours?

Mine use Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie mix. Substitute 1/3 cup burgundy for the 1/3 cup water then add a couple of cups of black walnuts or pecans, or one cup of each.

Man! These are not to die for, they are to KILL for.:devil:

I kind of like the betty crocker brownies you just add water and microwave. Very good for out of the box!

O/K JB enough is enough.8)

You've posted recipes for just about everything edible and every time you do my gastric juices start flowing and I end up dribbiling on my keyboard8)

Couple this to your preference for a good single malt, would it be O/K if ever I come to the USA to stay at yours.8)

I don't care how you make 'em, just as long as they've got that special herbal additive...8)

Make the dark chocolate variety........ Then you can use the reason that Dark Chocolate is a great anti-oxidant ..... so eathing the brownies is healthy!!

I have added powdered coffee for an additional boost.

Re: World's best brownies.

It's on the box, Parrot. :)

One package Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Premium Mix
1/3 cup water (substitute burgundy)
1/3 cup canola oil
1 egg

Then add 2 cups of nuts. I usually use Hideout pecans.

Spoon into 140 square inch (or about that) lightly greased pan and bake 45-50 minutes at 325*F. 45 for chewy, 50 for crunchy.

The recipe says 64 to 81 square inch pan, but with the nuts added they would be too thick. I prefer them about 1/2"-3/4" thick and more crunchy than chewy.

This is top secret stuff, Parrott, so if you tell anyone. . . well, you know about the grass and the mower?

Yes, Bob. Ghirardelli is premium quality dark chocolate.8)

Mea Culpa....

I was speed reading and did not pick up on the Ghirardelli being the name of a mix. I've never seen any mixes by them, just the Dutch method chocolate.

Is the reference to grass a hint that maybe some other things should be put in these brownies?d:)

Thanks for replying JB....will look for them next time at the store.

Try some cream cheese in the mix...makes it rich!!

Re: World's best brownies.

We made browies one time in college. They tasted really bad. Then they tasted better. Then we sat on the couch for 5 hours ad-libbing mexican soap operas with the sound off until we could not laugh anymore.

Good times......good times......

No, Parrott, not that sort of grass.

The Grass I referred to was as in "Your butt will be grass and I will be the lawnmower" if you divulge my secrets of the world's greatest brownies.

ZmOz, I may be old and ugly but I aint stupid. Ruining great dark chocolate brownies with nasty controlled substances is not a wise move. Actually, ruining ones brain with nasty controlled substances is not a wise move.;)

Coming from someone who puts burgundy in the brownies and talks about smoking and drinking all the time.

Okay, ZmOz, let me be more specific.

Add the term "illegal" before all references to "nasty controlled substances".;)

Feel better now?

For healthier brownies, substitute applesauce for oil. My Mom used to sub with well-rinsed and minced sauerkraut too. Unexpectedly awesome. :)
