It was quite a celebratory weekend around here! Everyone is healthy, it was Mother’s Day, and we have a new addition to the family – a rescue puppy from Town Lake Animal Shelter. He’s going to get his own separate post, though. This post is about the brownies. A few months ago I …

While I love the old one, this new one was packed with walnuts which toned down the sweetness and added more texture. Plus I made adjustments. I toasted the nuts, threw in some almond extract for subtle flavor undertones (a little goes a long way), added chocolate chips and made the cream cheese layer a bit more tart by adding sour cream. The brownies were excellent. The cream cheese layer didn’t brown too much and the brownies had a fudgy, dense, texture. I l enjoyed these quite a bit even though they weren’t as tart and cheesy as my favorites. And because they are sweeter and don’t have such a huge proportion of cheesecake, they might be even more of a crowd pleaser than the others

This weekend I discovered a great new small batch brownie recipe in the new book, Small Batch Baking for Chocolate Lovers. The original recipe from the book was Espresso Brownies with White Chocolate Cappuccino Ganache, but I ventured off on my own and tried making a small batch variety of one of my favorite treats, Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies Topped Brownies. While they were a little taller than usual, they definitely satisfied a craving!

hin Mints are delicious, but I’m getting tired of eating them straight and have been trying to incorporate them into richer and more satisfying desserts. Thin Min Icebox Cake was a complete failure because the Thin Mints never softened, but Thin Mint Pie and these Thin Mint Brownies were both terrific. The brownies have what I think is the perfect level of mint and their texture works well with the cookies.

This recipe is adapted from the Tate’s Bake Shop cookbook, and to be honest I was a little hesitant about trying [...]
