Brownies Beer Die Open 2011

All You Ever Wanted to Know About Brownies (but were afraid to ask)

We’ve all spent time searching for an easy brownie recipes. We all like brownies that are moist and chocolatey, but they need to be easy to make as well. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the number of different recipes out there.

Of course, you’ll find that a good number of brownie recipes include a lot of the same ingredients. Some recipes are less complicated than others. A few can be quite complicated and more than a little difficult. So, just what are your options?.

What About Low-Fat Brownies
Actually, it really is possible to make low-fat brownies. I make them all the time using an Easy Low-Fat Brownie Recipe that I developed. They are wonderfully moist and have an intense chocolate flavor.

Nuts About Brownies
For me, a real brownie simply must have nuts in it. The kind of nuts don’t really matter to me – walnuts, pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts – they all work for me. I just want nuts in my brownies. Just be mindful that lots of people have allergies to nuts. So, you may not want to add any at all. But don’t let that prevent you from baking up some delicious brownies. They’re still yummy without them.

Icing Brownies
Well, we’re going into sugar overload anyway, so why not put some icing on them? This can put a whole new spin on your brownie recipe. You don’t have to settle for a plain chocolate icing, either. Experiment. Think outside the box (or, rather, brownie)! Whatever frosting you decide to use is limited only by your imagination.

Brownies for the Connoisseur
Tantalize a gourmet palate by adding special flavorings (rum and coffee jump to mind), add-ins like dried or candied fruits, and even exotic chocolate to add a deeper dimension. Again, let your imagination soar.

Do More with Brownies
Now that you’ve made some brownies, why not add them to another recipe? How does a fudge brownie sundae sound? Or, better still, add some brownie chunks while making your own ice cream. And don’t overlook the pleasure of a simple cup of coffee with a couple of brownies on the side.

Making Brownies for a Bake Sale
Brownies are always an easy sell at a bake sale. If you’ve been called upon to make something for the school bake sale, bake up a bunch of brownies and they’re sure to please. For a cute presentation, wrapped a few brownies in printed cellophane wrap and tie it up with some colorful curled ribbons. People will snap them up as gifts as well.
