White Choc Chunk Brownies; I'd put the tab on the page for a long while since I got this book. Melt dark choc and butter directly in the pot. Turn off the heat and stir in the rest of ingredients. Instead of the white choc and nuts called for in the recipe, I only put in the cookies 'n' cream choc pieces into the choc mixture. Pour the mixture into the pan for baking. The brownie turned out to be a rather thin one. Probly because I used a bigger pan than the one in stated in the book. I left it in the fridge before going off to bed. Joey was still sleeping when I awoke. He must be tired staying up late with me. I cut the brownies into mini squares for my colleagues and PIG. Next time, I'll definitely bake in a smaller pan so that I can tast the chunkiness of the brownie and cookies 'n' cream choc. Ingredients: 200g dark choc, chopped 150g butter 1/2 cup castor sugar 2 eggs, lightly beaten 2 tsps vanilla essence 1/3 cup plain flour 1/4 cup self-raising flour 100g white choc, chopped 3/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped Grease 20cm X 30cm lamington pan, cover base with paper, grease paper. Melt dark choc and butter in pan. Remove from heat, stir in sugar, then eggs and essence, then sifted flours, white choc and nuts. Spread the mixture into prepared pan, bake in moderate oven for about 35min or until surface is bubbly and slightly puffed. Cool in pan, refrigerate for several hours or overnight before cutting. Dust with a little sifted icing sugar, if desired, before serving.

Hersheys with Brownies

Betty Crocker's Easy Cookies vs Hershey's
Gradually, got myself hook to it. A change from cakes, I decided to try my hands at cookies after such a long while. To help me warm up the engine, I bought a Betty Crocker's cookies pre-mix. Nevertheless, even a pre-mix may go wrong depending on the baker! HA!
Prepare mixture as per instruction.
The result? Cookies were alittle hard, maybe due to overbaking. Still unsatisfied, I decided to have a go at it myself this time. I saved a few cookie recipes from Hersheys' website and made these Choc Chip Cookies. The mixture is alittle (or alot) wet. Once the dollops of mixture (I can't call it dough, can I?) started baking, they spread out and 'overlap' the each other. The texture is like the softer version of meringue. But my bro likes them and brought a tub to office. I don't understand men's taste?!
