I like the rusticity of this photo. In an age where magazines and even blogs have such air-brushed photos, this brownie photo is a “taste” of new flavor.

Will have to try these. Mint is one of my favorite things to go with chocolate. The other is peanut butter. Thanks for the link to the recipe.

Ms Angela, I hope you don’t mind me answering Ellen’s question.
Ellen, I use Anchor-Hocking glass bowl when melting chocolate over the stove. I use low to medium heat.

while the patties did mostly melt, thus loosing the neat effect, they were amazing brownies and so easy to make! There were made for part of a christmas gift but these jsut may have to stay a secret ‘test batch’.
thanks so much

I made these for a work holiday party and they were a big hit.

Hi Ellen…. I used a large pot, put in an inch or so water, and placed a large metal mixing bowl over. It fit nicely, and I just kept stirring the chocolate and butter in that while the water simmered underneath. It worked pretty well, though the metal bowl did get a little hot to touch. Have oven mits handy!
