As if one new product discovery wasn’t enough, yesterday I found two more – JIF’s new chocolate hazelnut spread and McCormick’s new hazelnut extract. Talk about a banner week at the grocery store!

If the Oreo Stack Brownie wasn’t enough for you, here’s the latest version — a chocolate brownie filled with malted chocolate cheesecake and a topped with chocolate malt frosting.

Food & Wine Magazine arrived in the mail yesterday, and while I don’t usually start tearing recipes out of magazines until I’ve read the whole thing, I tore Hazelnut Brownies [...]

Today’s brownie recipe is adapted from a contest winner from Southern Living magazine. A $1,000 “brand winner” in the desserts category, it features 1/4 cup of Millstone Coffee. Unless you brew your coffee really, really, strong, you’re not going to get much flavor from 1/4 cup brewed coffee, but in this case it doesn’t matter [...]

These brownies evolved from my attempt to incorporate coconut oil and coconut flavored yogurt into a whole grain brownie recipe. I started by making it as written on Food Network and simply substituting coconut oil for the fat and coconut yogurt for the plain yogurt. The brownies were dry, cakey and crumbly, but they had [...]
