I have given myself until 7/1 to kick off Taste Your Dreams officially. In the meantime, I am just working on practice batches and committing to small simple orders so that I can get adjusted to the new oven and make sure my recipes still were amazing! This week, I decided to work on brownies...fudgy yumminess that can please almost all palates. Can't go wrong here, right?
For this batch, I decide to modify my recipe by adding Reese's Peanut Butter as an homage to VJ's and Mark's love for the mini Reeses' PB cups. For my huge batch (11x17 jelly roll pan) I use a total of 34 OUNCES of 3 different kinds of chocolate...sounds crazy, I know...but trust, it is worth it.
My tasters are my son VJ, his girlfriend Kailah, my hubby Mark and VJ's great bud, Caselli. VJ and Mark LOVED them as did Caselli. This was huge coming from VJ since he is not a brownie lover. Kailah,on a scale of 1 to 10 rated my brownies an 8. In her opinion, they need to be richer, more chocolatey.
Wow, at first I am dumbstruck by her opinion...added to that, VJ,who is sitting right beside me, now agrees with her. BUT, as we all know and have heard the phrase, "out of the mouths of babes"...so, I suck itup and listen. Several batches later I think I have perfected the moist, ooey gooey brownie recipe I love...Now of course, time will telll as customers will be the judge...YIKES!
