I’m pretty sure I’ve tried this recipe at some point, but for some reason it didn’t make an impression. Maybe the brownies weren’t tall enough? Maybe I made them back-to-back with a recipe I just happened to like better? I don’t know, but I made them again on this dreary Tuesday and decided they were [...]

This recipe put a dent in my Hershey’s Macadamia Kisses supply, and that is a-okay. I want to use them while they’re still fresh, and right now the macadamias inside the Kisses are fresher than any of the ones I’ve purchased here in Austin.

So what’s the point of chocolate extract? As an extract enthusiast I’ve asked myself that a number of times, and as a penny pincher, I’ve avoided buying a bottle because I couldn’t think of a good way to use it and it seemed redundant in chocolate cake and brownies. Luckily, Nielsen Massey helped me out [...]

Monkey see, monkey do, Katrina made brownies and I did too. I didn’t want to be too big of a copy cat, though.
