Tried a New Brownie Recipe

15 years ago

If you are like me and you like your brownies "fudgy" rather than "cakey" you will love See's Gooey Brownies. Similar to my Decadent Brownies.

Not sure why they are called gooey. They should be called See's Fudge Brownies.

Initially I wasn't sure about them. But all they needed was 24 hours to firm up and the flavour to develop. Then they were amazing.

I froze half of them to give to Matt and Dana. They were a big hit.

See's Gooey Brownies

adapted from Cooking on the Side

Makes 24 large brownies

INGREDIENTS:

16 oz chocolate chips

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 pound butter plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided

1 lb brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

shot of espresso (optional)

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup toasted walnuts or pecans

DIRECTIONS:

Place condensed milk, chocolate chips and butter in a glass bowl. Microwave on medium for one minute. Stir until smooth. You might need to place back in the microwave for a few more seconds. Be careful not to over heat. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, (or microwave) melt remaining 1/2 lb of butter, stir in sugar. Add to chocolate mixture. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla, (espresso if using) flour and salt. Fold in nuts.

Line 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with foil leaving an overhang at each end. Butter foil. Bake at 350ÃÂ°F for 30-35 minutes. Do not over bake. Place pan in freezer. This stops the baking process. When brownies have cooled use foil to remove from pan. Peel off foil. Cut brownies into bars and then into squares. I wrap bars individually and freeze. Easy to pull a bar out of the freezer when the craving for a brownie hits.

This is exactly what I don't need, and exactly what I will make as soon as I get all the ingredients!!!! REAL brownies are fudgy and always have walnuts or pecans. I am copying the recipe right now!

Ann those look delicious. Your brownies are always cut just perfectly. Do you freeze them a tad before cutting to get such sharp, clean edges?

I have used it before, but I used it in a strange way. I try out differtent interesting ingredients and recipes. I believe you can get more authentic by using native recipes. So I use Google Translate to translate the English name of an ingredient to the native language, and many recipes will come up. Then I use Google Translate and translate the recipes into English. It really doesn't take that long to do. For instance, for French onion soup, I get this recipe: INGREDIENTS Pour 4 personne(s) 1 kg d'oignons 50 gr de beurre 10 cl de vin blanc sec ou de biÃ¯Â¿Â½re 1 litre de bouillon de volaille ou de boeuf ou 1 bouillon cube 1 branchette de thym 1 feuille de laurier Sel Poivre du moulin Piment d'Espelette (facultatif) ------------------------------ You can try Greek, Lithuanian, Albanian, Chinese, Japanese ---- Kind of interesting dcarch

I watched Giada making this while I was riding my exercise bike a few weeks ago. It was very good. Though I eat meat I can go without it for days/weeks - this was a nice no meat meal. I used smoked Gouda instead of Mozarella and skipped the mushrooms since I'm not a big shroom fan. I also used whole grain pasta and skipped the butter and added salt to try to make it a little healthier. Baked Penne with Roasted Vegetables 2 red peppers, cored and cut into 1-inch wide strips 2 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 summer squash, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch cubes 4 cremini mushrooms, halved 1 yellow onion, peeled and sliced into 1-inch strips 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon salt, divided 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb mix or herbs de Provence 1 pound penne pasta 3 cups marinara sauce (store bought or homemade) 1 cup grated fontina cheese 1/2 cup grated smoked mozzarella 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus 1/3 cup for topping 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. On a baking sheet, toss the peppers, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and onions with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and dried herbs. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for about 6 minutes. Since you will be cooking the pasta a second time in the oven, you want to make sure the inside is still hard. Drain in a colander. In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the roasted vegetables, marinara sauce, cheeses, peas, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix, until all the pasta is coated with the sauce and the ingredients are combined. Pour the pasta into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Top with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and butter pieces. Bake until top is golden and cheese melts, about 25 minutes. Here is a link that might be useful: Baked Penne with Roasted Vegetables

That happened to me once on another forum. Somebody not following directions that is. I gave a recipe for a dessert dish that had always gotten raves in the past---including from me of course. This lady decided to make it for a get-together with her in-laws, then complained that they didn't seem to be impressed. THen she went on to mention all the substitutions she had made, eiher due to not having a particular product and/or her own "creativity". I guess it didn't help that she clearly wasn't her in-laws' favorite DIL, as apparently they raved on & on about the other DIL's dessert contribution that day. So, in the end, it really wasn't MY recipe.

I dunno... it's going to take some real doing to beat your decadent brownies. These DO sound and LOOK good though... Ok, I'm copy-pasting. Wish we all lived close by, then we could do a brownie bake-off!!

Oh my Ann, I want to run right out and buy everything I need to make these. My problem is my oven temperature in this 5th wheel I'm living in is so unpredictable.

They look wonderful!!!! I'm saving this one!

Linda, Usually I just cut them once they have cooled. But I do cool them in the freezer. I use a long narrow serrated bread knife. Seems to cut through the nuts better than a straight blade.

May, my family all agree that my decadent brownies

are still number one. See's flavour and texture is slightly different and are a close second. Just another alternative.

Mmmm. I am all about the brownies without leavening. I don't think I'll ever go back! I have a bunch of sweetened condensed milk languishing in the pantry, and might have to give these a try.

Claire, you are somewhat correct.

As I've mentioned before, I do make some exceptions. I just don't freeze much in the way of leftovers.

I always freeze homemade breads and some baked goods like brownies and cheese danish, etc...

I saw them on the your blog...and immediately wanted to go make them...LOL

However, I just squeezed into a smaller size jean...and well...I can't eat just ONE brownie...

But I think when I have an occasion to bake something for others I am going to try that recipe..and take a nibble and let others enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Ann, Very convincing photo of those sinful chocolate concoctions. With your permission, I think I will make a batch to take with me to a party that I will be attending, and earn myself some brownie points.

Thanks for sharing.

papillon, here it that recipe, I pulled it from another thread

Decadent Brownies (Ann T)

1 Cup butter
20 Ounces chocolate
1-1/2 Cups sugar
Pinch of salt
4 eggs
1 Cup flour
vanilla to taste
1 Cup toasted pecans/walnuts

(Optional: use 3/4 cup brown and 3/4 cup white sugar, or Add a shot of espresso)
Ã¯Â¿Â½Ã¯Â¿Â½
Method One

Melt chocolate and butter in microwave bowl. Beat in sugar and salt. Beat in eggs add vanilla. Do not over mix. Mix in flour. Mix in pecans/walnuts. Pour into rectangle cake pan that has been lined with tin foil and rubbed with butter. Bake in oven at 350 for approximately 30 minutes. Do not over bake. Should still be soft in the middle. Put into freezer immediately for 1 hour or until cold. Cut into 8 bars and wrap each in plastic wrap and freeze.

Method Two

Another Option. Both methods are good and I use them interchangeably.

Melt butter and sugar together over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the chocolate and stir until chocolate melts. Continuing stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add one egg at a time and mix until each is well incorporated before adding the next egg.

Add vanilla (and espresso if using).

Stir in flour and salt and mix well. Stir in the pecans or walnuts and pour into prepared pan. Bake in a 350 Ã¯Â¿Â½F for approximately 30 minutes. Do not over bake. Brownies should be set in the middle but still slightly soft. Place immediately in the freezer. When cold, remove and cut into bars. Wrap each bar in plastic wrap and store in the
freezer.

go for it, they are delicious. Gild the lily with a chocolate ganache, that's yummy too.
