A Different Type of Brownie...




Hi, Blog Friends.


Everyone likes a little sweet treat after school (or a treat after a long day of work--now that we are all "grown up."). Try a different type of Brownie called a "Bamboozler."



I made a batch of Bamboozlers recently (an 8"x8"-inch pan). I found the recipe in a cookbook called "Best-Loved Chocolate Recipes" by Barnes and Noble Books (although some of the recipes contained therein I have seen on packages and labels from chocolate purveyors.)


Much like a brownie, which are best only slightly warm (but set up), Bamboozlers have cocoa powder, an egg and two egg whites (which make them lighter and less dense), a 1/4 cup of honey (only a small amount of brown sugar as additional sweetener), and can be topped with your whim-expressed toppings (peanuts, chocolate bits, mini marshmallows, etc). Frosting them thinly with a unique icing (ganache or buttercream style) would be interesting as well!


My guests at the inn that afternoon enjoyed these bars. Hope you can soon.


Back to the Spring yard clean-up and painting! Thanks for stopping by the Inn at Long Lake blog.
