Comments on: the baked brownie, spiced up http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/the-baked-brownie-spiced-up/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:27:06 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Chrissy http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/the-baked-brownie-spiced-up/#comment-332800 Chrissy Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:27:06 +0000 http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/the-baked-brownie-spiced-up/#comment-332800 So I've already commented about my first (and what became my second) experience (and what became a love affair) with these here: http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/blueberry-boy-bait/ (#227) but I made these again tonight, and swirled some peanut butter on top of about half the pan pre-baking, as an experiment. OH MY. Delish-- they're like mole brownies! I made them for a friend for whom chocolate, all things spicy, and peanut butter fall at the very top of her list of great food loves, so I don't think she'll hate them. Also, I just moved to Brooklyn two months ago post-undergrad, and after falling in love with SK my senior year, it's been so cool to see a handful of things I've read about firsthand: from going to Baked for the first time, to working at the City Bakery--most notably the day I came in to discover the first caramel cranberry almond tart of the season had found its way to the counter, and after stumbling upon your gushing post on that beauty, seeing it in the flesh was something not unlike a celebrity sighting-HA. Smitten Kitchen has added another dimension and delight to this many adjective'd experience, so, thank you! Oh, and need I say it? (Wait. Of course I do.) Jacob? Is scrumptious.

I was a little suspicious of the lack of leavening, but they are chewy and fudgy and fantastic. My girlfriend tells me that she would elope with them if she could. These are AMAZING.

Only problem is I useually make brownies as a treat for people when I am dieting (as they useually don't tempt me) but these are having the opposite effect!

I have the feeling I'm going to end up gobbling the whole batch and taking a trip to the moon instead. Perhaps a clearly labeled "normal" batch, just to be safe... drool Is it wrong that I’m adding pot to these and taking them to a music festival?

Crusty, chewy, and rich, they're the best brownies I've ever had. And they are made with unsweetened chocolate (I have to settle for Scharfenberger because I can never find unsweetened Valrhona or Callebaut)and seemingly less sugar than most brownie recipes I've come across. And it's totally not weird to back 2 batches of brownies in a week. I once did 3 in 3 days, baking until I found the most satisfying recipe. Your blog is wonderful, and Congratulations on the little one! Have you ever tried Zingerman’s Magic Brownies? Crusty, chewy, and rich, they’re the best brownies I’ve ever had.

I like my baked goods triple wrapped in plastic, or wrapped very well and then slid into a freezer bag. I don't like to keep things in longer than 3 weeks or at least in my freezer, they pick up freezer odors. Yours may vary. I believe they'd be safe in the freezer for at least 8 weeks.

These brownies are so good that I'm going to link this page on my blog, not that I have nearly as much traffic as you do. I’m with Sara-105 on this one.
