miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share all the stuff we don't share during the rest of the week. miscellaneous? what say you!?
returning to the topic of brownies. i have been on a quest to bake something that will give the flavor of the almond joy candy bar. over the weekend, the first attempt was made to do just that. the change i made in the brownie recipe was to exchange coconut oil for vegetable oil. a cup of shredded coconut and a cup of chopped, toasted almonds were added to the batter. into the oven to be baked as usual. yum. the coconut flavor was more subtle that i would have liked. next attempt will include a touch of coconut oil flavoring. might even add chocolate chips. overall, the first batch of "almond joy" brownies was a success. any tips, hints, ideas? share!
one big question--WHY do this to a brownie?! LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteyou know me and coconut!
i submit. some won't enjoy coconut flavored brownies. think of it as a challenge!
Deletetrue that!
ReplyDeletehave yor tried mint brownies like the Girl Scout thin mints?
no. no i haven't tried mint brownies. another quest!
DeleteTo make mint brownies, make a regular batch of brownies. While they are baking, unwrap a package of Andes mints. As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, lay the mints evenly over the top. As the mints are getting melty from the heat of the brownies, spread them out with a rubber spatula. Wait until the candy hardens, cut and enjoy. Tada!!! Mint brownies!!!
