Yummy Toblerone Brownies

These brownies were so easy to make and they tasted amazing. I had a lot of fun making them as well. As usual they went over real well at work and home. I brought the majority of them to work to get them out of the house other wise I would have shoveled them all in. I did eat my fair share though...lol. Im glad my baking skills are being put to the test. So far am having a lot of fun doing this and am getting a lot of support from friends and family which is encouraging. Next up Blondie bars. Apparently these taste better then brownies. We will see. Til next time. Here's to cake wishes and chocolate dreams.

Preparing to make Toblerone Brownies

Now that the S'mores bars went over better then I thought it's time to tackle the Toblerone Brownies. I can't wait to conquer this one. Toblerone chocolate is my favorite. It's the perfect mixture of nugget and chocolate. My mouth is already watering with anticipation. It's time to get dirty. Here's to cake wishes and chocolate dreams.

S'MORES BARS FROM HELL!!!

OMG!!!! That's all I can say. Making this dessert was not as easy as one would assume.
Starting out I thought I was doing good.....lol. Then came the part in the recipe were I had to use the electric mixer(hand held) of course. Let's just say when the recipe tells you to mix on a medium setting....DO IT!!! I had dough flying in every direction. My dumb ass had it on high! I also misread one part of the directions which turned out to be a total mess. The directions called for you to take 2/3 of the dough and press it in the bottom of the pan and then add the marshmallows and then the chocolate chips and then use the remaining dough and cover the top. Simple right? Well not when I did it. I for some reason didn't pick up on the pan part and I did this all in the mixing bowl. Needless to say I transferred everything from the bowl to the pan and kind of just reshaped it. After it was all said and done the s'mores bars came out looking pretty descent and they don't taste half bad. It's definitely an experience I won't forget. Oh and thank god for Jeff. He was there to help me clean up the giant mess I made. He's the best. On to the next dessert. Here's to cake wishes and chocolate dreams.

S'MORES BARS

Getting ready to tackle the s'mores bars. Hopefully they come out as delicious as the fudge brownies. The recipe seems fairly simple so I'm not that worried...lol. Oh well. Definitely looking forward to eating them afterward. Here's to cake wishes and chocolate dreams.

Fudge Brownies are a success!!!

YAY!!!!!!! I did it. Recipe 1 Fudge Brownies.
I followed the recipe step by step(sort of). One of the ingredients was 2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder. I did a little modification. I used 2 tspns of Starbucks VIA instant coffee. Not a dramatic change but a small one. Non the less the brownies were nothing less then perfection. It was like the perfect mix of heavenly chocolate. As my guinea pigs I used my partner Jeff and co-workers. Everyone at worked enjoyed them. Their were non left by the time I left work. It's a great feeling to watch people enjoy something you made from scratch. It made me feel all tingly inside. Next up S'mores Bars. In the mean time enjoy the pictures.

Fudge Brownies

My first challenge: Fudge Brownies.

This is my first time that I will attempt to make brownies from scratch. In the past I have always bought brownie batter from a box......WHAT??? You're saying to yourself. I know. It's shocking. I have faith in myself that I can do it. I have all the ingredients and tools on the counter and they are ready to go. Here's to cake wishes and chocolate dreams. Wish me luck.

Intro

What can I say I love desserts. Eating them, baking them, looking at them in admiration.
As long as I can remember I have always had a fascination with anything sweet and delicious.
My purpose is to make over 100 recipes from YOU MADE THAT DESSERT? From Beth Lipton. I will take her advice and recipes and turn them into beautiful pieces of edible art. I'm looking forward to this challenge. With every dessert I make I will talk about my experience along with before and after pictures. I will be baking 2-3 times a week. I feel by doing this I will be accomplishing something in my life. It feels good to be excited about something again.
