Brown Knees

Chocolatey Naughtiness...

Mix flour, salt, cocoa and baking powder.

Melt butter and chocolate together.

I did it in the microwave.. Easy!

Whisk in the sugar...

...then your eggs

Add the mix to the flour etc

mix, then pour into buttered pan

chop up your Mars bars

you could use Snickers too

push into the surface of the mixture

bake for 40-45 minutes

they're supposed to be a bit squidgy..

EAT.

Squidgy Mars Bar Brownies

1/2 cup butter

8oz dark chocolate

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/4 cups sugar

1/2 tsp salt

3 large eggs

1 cup plain flour

1 Mars Bar or several mini ones

I used an 8 inch round sandwich tin at gas mark 4.

Test after 35 minutes and keep checking as ovens vary and non-squidgy mars bar burnties don't sound yummy at all!

Happy Waffles

I told you there would be waffles. 

There will probably be more, I shan't lie...

Nice Things

Nice things to think about today:

1.  Waffles
   
   
   
   I got a waffle maker for Christmas
   The possibilities are endless.
   Please expect further Waffle-related posts.

2. Patisserie Valerie

This place is full of goodies. And nice coffee. Which is much better than not-very-nice coffee, isn't it.

I had the Blackforest and she (her, opposite me) had a cheeky slice of Carrot Cake that was, in fact,  LUSH.

3.Cookin' with Coolio

Why not? This is what the contents page looks like....

Yep. That does say 'Sweet Treats for That Sweet Ass' followed by that more than necessary 'Pimpclusion' that all good cookbooks should have. Ask Delia.

4. Dark Chocolate. 

Particularly Scharffen Berger Chocolate and their Chocolate Adventure Contest.

 

The site is great for chocolatey inspiration, it has loooooads of chocolate recipes and even has an interactive cupcake builder!

5. Friends and Family

They are very important. Make cakes for them. Make a mess for them :)
