twd ~ Honey Nut Brownies



Thanks to Suzy of Suzy Homemaker for this week's pick!

These brownies are all about the honey!
The honey makes them very dense and very sweet. It overplays the chocolate a bit. I used pecans for the nuts, and loved them. You definitely need nuts in these.
These were good straight out of the oven, but better the next day when the flavors seemed to have mixed and mellowed a bit more.

twd ~ White Chocolate Brownies...with Blueberries

I think this one is a little bit of a misnomer. You say brownies and I think dense little squares, or dense big rectangles, of chewy chocolate, be it dark, milk, or white. But this, this is a nice little to-do, similar to a yogurt cake.

It has ground almonds and blueberries. The original recipe calls for raspberries and meringue. I can't stand meringue and I love blueberries. And I wasn't the only one. My mom, whom I was visiting for the long weekend, felt the same way, so we made the appropriate changes.

This was a nice ending to all the heavy Memorial Day cook-out food. After snithcing on it around midnight, I was too tired to properly store it, so I left it in the pan and popped it in the microwave for safe keeping. And there it stayed. I was in the car halfway back to Atlanta when I remembered. My sweet mom took pictures and texted them to me. Of course, I can't figure out how to upload them so the pictures will have to wait a little while. But at least my mom will get to enjoy the rest of the brownies for her trouble. Thanks Mom!

And also, a big thanks to Marthe of Culinary Delights for picking this week.

twd: Brownies for Julia

Thanks to Tanya of Chocolatechic for this week's pick - Rick Katz's Brownies for Julia. Quite an appropriate pick for Chocolatechic - these brownies are definitely chocolatey and fudgey! I love gooey brownies and these are very gooey but still light with a lovely paper thin layer of crackle and crunch on top. Yum!The brownies don't look as good in the pictures as they tasted. Did I mention these were gooey? Which meant they didn't want to be cut in uniform little squares. Hey, I like brownies that are outside of the box. Plus, they were still warm when I cut them - straight from the oven! My mom was passing through and stopped by for dinner so we got to make these brownies together as the Mahi Mahi and veggies cooked. We both started out with two brownies...then had a third...and I do believe I had a fourth as well.
