More February baking~Katz’s Brownies for Julia
9 Feb
Love is in the February Air. All the covers of the magazines are splashed with happiness and hearts. Pink and white, red and lace, cookies and candies. Implying that if all the stars are aligned and the appropriate exchange of gifts are made that all will be right with the world, at least maybe for one day and night. Right? Well, you can take that where you will.
Romance between two can be shared without a designated day of forced merriment. Don’t misunderstand….I am one of those girls, (ha ha… who are we kidding? I’m old, anyway) who can never have too much romance or chocolate. I love hugs and kisses, a stolen glance, a great romantic comedy, sweet notes, a great meal and of course chocolate. Oh yea, I love to laugh. I love it a lot. Tasting different chocolates from different makers has been a fun almost hobby of mine. Chocolate can have a variety of flavor notes and there are many chocolate artisans all over the world who craft their product with a passion that exceeds our expectation. How fun is that? Essentially, its up to you, your journey, and your very own tastebuds to determine your own chocolate preferences.
This week the Tuesday’s With Dorie baking crew made a brownie recipe from Baking From My Home to Yours, however Dorie writes that she obtained this brownie from Rick Katz. Either way, where ever it originated, its a delicious chocolatey brownie recipe. The first baking I didn’t bake them long enough, nor follow the directions properly. They were under baked and so I popped them into the freezer. Oh wow! Folks they were amazing! I did bake again and yep, this is a brownie recipe you will want to try. Don’t pass it up! Especially if you are a chocolate lover. A little crusty top layer providing the initial crunch as you bite into the fudgy-ness in the middle. Oh my! Don’t miss out folks. Enjoy. I did!
ChocolateChic helped continue our chocolate love this month. She loves chocolate. Surprised? Not me! I highly recommend you visit her site for the recipe, or purchase Baking From My Home to Yours, by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to visit the TWD Blogroll for more fun. Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your love!
Oh, I am so happy to hear that someone else got the crusty top layer as well. I thought I had failed at it completely. Well, not completely as the guys absolutely loved them. Yep, love is in the air. Yours look like a party stacked up like that on those beautiful plates!
Your brownies look great! Makes me want to bake up another batch right now!
You’re brownies look wonderful. I still haven’t made these, I guess I need to get going!
Hummm… two brownies? You know aren’t following anyone with those TWO brownies. And that… even if you create a diversion with your chocolate tasting bit!
I’m glad you enjoyed them, and also find it too cool that you even made them better with a lack of cooking and a freezer! Cool!
I completely agree! I can’t wait to try your freezer method for the undercooked ones…I bet they are fantastic straight from the freezer, too.
Your brownies look so neat. I could not cut mine. They stuck to the pan. Despite this, they were delicious.
I agree, these brownies were amazing! Your’s look great!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! This post definitely put a smile on my face!
This was a great recipe and Im glad you thought so too. Your brownies look amazing!
Beautiful brownies.
I agree, these are definitely worth making again – and again!
Amazing what a freezer will do huh? I did the same, although I made these a month ago – and didn’t realize they were so underdone until they thawed… oh well – STILL delicious! I’m sure yours taste as good as they look – who doesn’t love a brownie – in any shape or form? Beautiful!
I think frozen is the way to go with these brownies–I put them in ice cream and the result was excellent. =)
I loved these brownies too. A new favorite!!!
I hope you have a happy and chocolatey Valentines Day!!!
Yep!! Have to make these again. They were really good. And your pic says it all.
I loved the fudgy-ness of these brownies too!
they look yummy, and i bet they were good cold from the freezer, too!
They were wonderful and should be shared always and often. So good!
I remember you saying you put these in the freezer. Mine went in the fridge. Yum!!!
