Help with Brownies Needed

I've been asked to bring brownies to a potluck. I want my brownies to be so good that I'll bring home an empty pan. Can anybody help??

I always get rave reviews for my "Symphony" brownies.  Just use boxed brownie mix and mix according to directions on box.  Spread half of mixture in pan, cover with Hershey's Symphony candy bars, then spread remaining mix on top and bake.  Divine!

I have used several different brands of brownie mix.  I've also used the plain candy bars and the ones with almonds and toffee.  Oh my, so good.  So good that I buy the family size brownie mix for a 9x13 pan instead of a small box for an 8x8 pan. LOL

Sometimes I even put chocolate frosting on top after they cool.

Make sure you are using a light colored pan or glass baking dish.  If you using glass lower the temperature.  I bake my brownies in a parchment paper lined pan.  Always remove them before the baking timer goes off they will carry over cook.

Buy a pan from Target made by Wearever 13x9 insulated light silver in color about $12.00.  This will insure you always have perfect brownies or anything else you decide to bake in it.  It also comes with a storage lid.

I found that it is easier for me to put it in cup cake pan. I make little cup cake brownies and my daughter and family love then. So try that also.

HI, lILDEVIL IN NC


I STARTED DOING THE MINI MUFFIN PAN THING RECENTLY ALSO.


I WENT TO THE DOLLAR STORE AND GOT ABOUT 2 DOZEN DIFFERENT SHAPED TIN BOXES.


I WENT HOME AND FILLED THEM UP WITH BAKED STUFF.


 BETTY CROCKER' MIXES  AND PREPARED FROSTINGS WERE A HUGE HELP-


AT THE HOLIDAYS I DID IT WITH PUMPKIN BREAD, CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA CAKE BATTER, AND TONS OF BROWNIE MIX-THEY WERE ALL A BIG SUCCESS-


THE MOMMIES LOVED IT BECAUSE THERE WERE TREATS TO GET THEM THROUGH HOLIDAY VACATIONS AND THEY SAID THEY HAD A USE FOR ALLTHE BOXES-HOORAY.


 

SUCCESS IS THE CORNER UPON WHICH HARD WORK AND OPPORTUNITY JOIN.

You have to check the temperature in your oven with a thermometer. The temperature may be higher than your setting it at. Also, if they're firm to the touch, take them out and put on top of the stove, they continue to cook on the inside from the heat.

I also use a 13 x 9 insulated or sometimes called air bake pan. It is perfect for brownies, even the edges come out soft and chewy.

Try buying a Pampered Chef square baking dish.  I have had one for years.  It is great!!!!

6/27/2008 10:17 PM

hey....maybe someone can help me. I mixed 4 batches of batter for spritz yesterday and put them in the fridge. Today I try to use them in the cookie gun and the batter is too sticky an soft. Any advise?

6/28/2008 2:48 PM

Sounds like you should add a little more flour to your batter. Just add a little at a time until it seems to be the right consistency.  You can always add more but you cant take it out.  This also works to make roll cookies the right consistency as well.  Otherwise they are sometimes sticky and hard to work with as well.  Hope this helps make your cookie making more fun!

I just bought a 13 X 9 baking dish from Pampered Chef........I love it.....thanks for the info!

 When I make brownies, I add cropped up marsaschino cherries and mini chocolate chips in the batter.  They're so sweet, you don't even need to frost them.

After making those fantastic brownies be sure to cut the brownies in smaller bite-size portions because people will be more inclined to take them if they are manageable and not percieved as messy.  Also the psycology of picking up a smaller portion encourage the guests to try them and probably come back for more!
