Gooey


And here's the finished product. I just now put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes to see if it will set up some more. Honestly, it's not that great. Maybe it's because I'm all beaned-out from the bean quesadilla I had for dinner. But if it wasn't for the chocolate flavor and the nuts to give it some texture--well, let's just say regular old brownies are better, in my opinion. Maybe a little frosting on top would help, once they're set up, that is.


Stay tuned for Brownies #2 when I try making my brownie recipe substituting beans for the shortening instead of the flour. Maybe Friday.

Hi Jenni, in looking at the recipe, I'm wondering, what is the difference between bittersweet cocoa solids and dutch processed cocoa? Does it really matter that I use 1/4 cup of one and 3/4 cup of the other, or can I just use a cup of Hershey's cocoa?

p.s. I do not recommend the recipe that I posted and used here. We each tried one and then threw the rest out.
