The recipe of choice this week is Chewy Chunky Blondies selected by Nicole of Cookies on Friday. As far as cookie bars go,blondies play a very close second to brownies as far as I’m concerned. Especially blondies that are full of chocolate bits and toffee pieces!
This week’s TWD assignment is White Chocolate Brownies selected by Marthe of Culinary Delights. Before going any further I feel a need to point out that the term “white chocolate” is a bit of a misnomer – it isn’t chocolate at all, as it contains no chocolate liquor.
That being the case, I simply could not make this recipe as it was written…
First – apologies for my unannounced (and unplanned) disappearance for the past month-ish. I did make the pecan pie back in December (actually I made it for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful), but we left town the day the post was due and I never got around to posting it in all of our travel chaos. I truly wanted to make the chocolate cheesecake but there was no way I could bring Dorie’s book in my luggage and I clean forgot to make a copy of the recipe before we left. Next thing I know, here it is mid January and I haven’t posted since mid December.
Anyway, enough with the excuses, right? This week Lillian of Confectiona’s Realm picked Chocolate Oatmeal Almost-Candy Bars on pages 114 and 115. This is one of many recipes in the book that doesn’t have a drool inspiring photo paired with it so I have often missed it as I flipped through but I am glad that Lillian selected it.
This is a truly rare event lately; I’m posting my TWD efforts for this week on time!
For today’s recipe Karen of Something Sweet by Karen picked Applesauce Spice Bars on pages 117 and118. I know there isn’t a lick of chocolate anywhere in this recipe, but I loved the picture in the book and it was just such a comforting homey type of recipe. Read more…
*UPDATE* I’m obvioulsy a complete scatter brain. I wrote this post on Tuesday at 9:52 PM and I THOUGHT I published it. Obviously not since I have just discovered it has a Draft status.
It’s Tuesday again and time for TWD. I know I’ve missed a few and I apologize to those who stopped by over the last few weeks to find nothing new at all, never mind the expected TWD posts.
I’m afraid I just haven’t been feeling up to baking recently, or up to much of anything else for that matter. But this weekend was a nice long weekend and “Prince Charming” was out of town so I needed something to take my mind off being lonely. This week’s Chipster Topped Brownie recipe certainly qualified.
Two things have recently come to my attention:
1) I haven’t actually shared a recipe with you in about a month
2) My last few posts haven’t had very much (if anything) chocolate in them
I simply cannot permit this situation to continue. This recipe not only rectifies both issues but it satisfies every craving for sweet, gooey, chocolaty goodness that I’ve had lately. Not to be completely immodest, but these little bars are positively to die for. And I’m not the only one to hold this belief – they vanished in under a day at the office and every single person gave them a rave review.
I won’t keep you in suspense any longer, grab the recipe here and let’s get baking…
