Sweet & Salty Brownies

Brownies are by far the best dessert for a chocoholic.

I know. How dare I make such a bold statement.

But, it is true. Brownies = chocolate bliss.

Brownies can be dressed up with fancy salts, a layer of ganache, even your favorite buttercream.

Over the summer I made a batch of ridiculous brownies. I called them brownie cookie caramel bars, but they are now known as slutty brownies.

I thought those were the best brownies ever. As good as they are, it’s like eating a brick.

These sweet and salty brownies are balanced. Salty caramel layered into a fudgey brownie batter creates a chewy chocolate bliss.

Enjoy with a glass of cold milk, a cup of coffee, or do like I do and mix brownie chunks into some ice cream!

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Bars

Hello! Today I have Taylor from Greens and Chocolate guesting posting for me! You can find her on Twitter @greenschocolate – enjoy!

When I saw that Erin was looking for a guest blogger, I jumped at the opportunity.

However, when taking more time to think about what I would share I have to admit, I was a stumped. I mean, Erin is so creative when it comes to her baking and every single thing makes my mouth water. How could I ever make something that would interest her readers as much as the treats she makes?!

Well, I think I’ve done it. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I turned to a recipe that I made last Valentine’s Day that was red, festive, and downright delicious!

I am a huge fan of everything red velvet and these bars are no exception. [Read more...]

Brownie Cookies, A Delicious Hybrid

Brownie Cookies

If you are wondering what exactly a brownie cookie is, wonder no longer!

A brownie cookie is simply a very chocolaty, chewy cookie that is less dense then a brownie. Delicous.

I first saw brownie cookies available at my local grocery store. I immediately bought a box. I had to try these amazing creations!

Of course they turned out to be just as delicious as I expected. We devoured every single one.

One day my sister requested a recipe for brownie cookies. I did a quick little search and found this recipe from Linzers in London.

I chose this recipe for it’s intense chocolate flavor. Even a chocoholic would be satisfied after one.

The intense chocolate ends up being a great base for something like nuts, fruit, or even caramel. And they are so simple you might as well not bother trying to resist!
