For Jeff’s birthday, nearly 2 months ago (so we’re a little behind, what do you want from us?) I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday. He, of course, wanted Outrageous Brownies. Obviously. So Corelyn and I set out to make him what he wanted. Here is the photographic evidence that we love Jeff enough to make him brownies that call for a pound of butter.
This is Corelyn trying to tell me that something we’re about to do is horrifying, per usual.
First, you melt some baker’s chocolate in a double boiler, or in our case, two sauce pans.
Then you add an unreasonable amount of chocolate chips.
Then, you painstakingly put a pound of butter in with the chocolate.
Stir, to avoid, you know, burning said chocolate and butter.
Secret 1: Instant coffee.
Check the cook book that Jeff has made. It’s a cookbook for our kitchen of our usuals. And recipes Jeff wishes I’d make more, such as Outrageous brownies. We gave one to Ryan for a graduation gift, and Jeff made one for us, too.
