Chocolate Toffee Bars http://sayitwithcake.org/chocolate-toffee-bars/ http://sayitwithcake.org/chocolate-toffee-bars/#comments Fri, 15 Nov 2013 17:16:21 +0000 Shamene http://sayitwithcake.org/?p=495 toffee barsThese Chocolate toffee bars are kinda like magic, because they will disappear right before your eyes! I was making these bars over at my sisters with a house full of people.  I was originally making them for the lady I visit teach for church.  My sister was begging me to let her cut a piece before it had cooled.  The kids kept trying to stick their fingers in it and grab a piece. I had to get bodyguards to protect these bars while they cooled! lol  They were worth the wait, these bars are so delicious and are perfect in every way! Once they were ready to eat, they did indeed disappear right before my eyes into the hands of five adults and 11 kids!

Peanut butter Brownie Bites

Ingredients

  • BROWNIES:
  • 3/4 cup Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated white sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, chopped
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the brownies: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat 3/4 cup chips and butter for 1 to 2 minutes until melted. Stir until smooth and combined. Let cool slightly.
  2. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9-inch pan with nonstick spray, line with foil, and then spray again (let the foil hang over the edges of the pan).
  3. 3. Whisk 1 cup of the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk in the eggs too. Then stir in the vanilla.
  4. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, stirring just until combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for just 10 minutes.
  5. 5. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, remaining 1 cup sugar and egg. Stir in the 1/3 cup chopped chips. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the partially cooked brownies. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is light brown and the mixture appears to be set. Let it cool in the pan.
  6. 6. Prepare the glaze: In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, heat the whipping cream and vanilla until warm and bubbling (about 1 minute). Add the 1 cup chips and let sit for about 1 minute, then stir until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the glaze over the top of the brownies and spread until even. Let stand until set (or refrigerate until set). Use the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan and move to a cutting board. Cut into 36 chunks and serve (or place in a covered container until ready to serve).

Pumpkin Kiss Brownies http://sayitwithcake.org/13/ http://sayitwithcake.org/13/#comments Fri, 18 Oct 2013 02:40:37 +0000 Shamene http://wp.sayitwithcake.org/?p=13 Brownies

Pumpkin kisses are so special and so rare, because they only come out in the stores around the holidays! They sell out so fast too! In fact, I was shopping all over for them and finally found them at Target and this was the LAST BAG!! If you do happen to snag a bag of these delicious Pumpkin kisses, be sure to make these pumpkin kiss brownies, they are so delicious!!!  The layers of chocolate fudge brownies, pumpkin spice ganache, and a decadent chocolate glaze go perfect together! And you can’t forget the glass of milk while eating these beauties, they are very rich! This recipe is surprisingly very easy and quick to make! It is a perfect way to enjoy those seasonal pumpkin kisses!

Recipe Adapted from Buttercream Blondie

To Start, make a batch of your favorite brownies.  I used triple fudge brownie mix.  After they have completely cooled, make and pour on the pumpkin kiss ganache.  Let it sit in the refrigerator until it sets.  After that, make and pour on the chocolate glaze while it is still warm.  Let it sit till set. Here is the recipe for the ganache and the glaze.  

Pumpkin Kiss Brownies

Yield: 9-12 brownies

Ingredients

    Pumpkin Kiss Ganache
  • 10 ounces (1 bag) Hershey's pumpkin kisses
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Dark Chocolate Glaze
  • 2 & 1/4 ounces unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Instructions

    Pumpkin Kiss Ganache
  1. Bring cream up to a scald and pour over kisses.
  2. Stir together till smooth and set aside.
  3. When brownies are completely cool, pour ganache on top.
  4. Refrigerate till set.
  5. Chocolate Glaze
  6. Melt butter and chocolate together.
  7. Stir in light corn syrup.
  8. Quickly pour over brownies. I recommend using the glaze a little warmer than room temp.
  9. Refrigerate till set.
  10. Cut brownies with a clean, hot knife to get a clean cut.

My favorite part of these brownies is the chocolate glaze on top.  This dark chocolate glaze is so shiny and pretty and comes out really smooth!  It also compliments the pumpkin sweetness perfectly. 

My son helped me by unwrapping all the kisses by himself! He was so proud :)  I really hope you enjoy these as much as I did! Have a great Day!

 KISSES!
