Fudge Brownie Book

*
Recipe Source Cafe Delites or use Fudge Brownie Box Mix and a Brownie Pan

*
Supplies:

*
*8″ x 8″ square baking pan

*Parchment Paper

*4 Metal Baking Clips, optional see picture below

*Cooking Spray

*

Ingredients
:

*1/2 cup Butter, melted

*1 tablespoon Extra Light Olive Oil

*1 and 1/8 cups Superfine Sugar (can sub granulated sugar)

*2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

*2 Eggs

*1/2 cup All-purpose Flour

*1/2 cup Cocoa Powder

*1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions:

Wet Ingredients:

Combine in a mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, sugar and vanilla extract.  Then add 1 egg at a time beating with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.


Dry Ingredients
:

*
Sift into a medium bowl the flour, cocoa powder and sea salt. Slowly add to the wet ingredients, stirring in 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time just until completely combined. Mixing to much after adding the dry ingredients will make them cake like and this is a “fudgy” brownie recipe.

*
In a 8 inch square baking pan, add a cut piece of parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Pour mixed brownie batter into lined parchment lined pan.

Bake In a pre-heated 350*F. oven, placing the oven rack at the top of the oven for slower cooking to make the fudge type brownies, mine took 28 minutes to cook but check on them after baking 22 minutes. They will be gooey when checked with a tooth pick. If you over bake the brownies they you will lose the “fudgy” type brownie texture. When baked remove pan of brownies from the oven and allow to cool completely in pan.

*
After cooling, remove/lift brownies from pan and cut into 9 brownies.

*Hocus Pocus Brownie

*
*2 cups Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting/Dipping Wafers, melted and drizzled over each brownie as desired.

*Large or Small Candy Eyes, I found them at Walmart

Options:

*Black Food Coloring, added to 1/4 cup of melted chocolate wafers (For adding decorative black stitches, snakes and lining the eye etc…) Optional

*Black food Marker, for adding eyelashes to eye, optional

Mummy Brownie Pops

Mummy Brownie Pops

*1 box Brownie Mix, made according to directions (At Walmart they sell Brownie in a cup if you wish to make small batch Perfect Size For 1, Duncan Hines 4 pouch)

*White Melting Wafers, melted we used Ghirardelli White melting Wafers, follow directions on package. Note: Melt 1 cup of wafers at a time and add 1/4 teaspoon of Coconut Oil. This is full recipe brownie pops, may also need to make more as needed. Note: If making personal size brownie mix you won’t use all the white chocolate mixture.

*Chocolate Frosting, only if needed, if brownies aren’t staying together when forming into the ball shape

*Lollipop Sticks

*Red Piping Gel, Great Value Brand, Walmart or Wiltons, etc…

Directions:

Cut brownies about 1 heaping tablespoon or to desired size for brownie pop, form into a round ball shape. Continue until desired amount of brownie balls are made.

I like to melt 1 cup of the wafers at a time in glass Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave in 30 second increments. Melt until almost all wafers are melted then stir in coconut oil and stir until white chocolate is melted and smooth. Using the 1 cup measuring cup makes it easy to dip brownie balls.

First take the lollipop stick and press the stick into one of the ends of the formed round brownie ball, then remove from the ball and dip that same stick end in the melted white chocolate and then press back into the hole you made in the brownie ball.

Allow the white chocolate to set stick in brownie before dipping the whole brownie ball into the white chocolate. Repeat for each brownie ball. It’s a good idea to have a lollipop stand etc… to setup dipped balls to dry.

Note: You could also place them on parchment paper; it will make the brownie ball flat on one-side.

Allow the white chocolate covered brownie pops to set. Then using a piping bag filled with melted white chocolate and a small round tip, pipe on mummy strips, piping like drawing an over sized number 8 or as desired over each dipped white mummy ball. Allow them to set, this could take up to 2 hours or more. Refrigerate if desired just until set and serve, refrigerate leftovers.
