Cooking Know-How

Since a glass baking dish conducts and retains heat better than a metal pan does, always reduce the oven temperature by 25ºF when baking in a glass baking dish.

Delicious! The idea of using tin foil was quite useful also; this recipe even gave me the idea of trying the tin foil for cakes as well (which worked great).

This was a disaster for me. Coud it be because I left out the pecans? I used semi sweet chocolate so I didn't add a lot of sugar. Result was a gooey mess with caramel oozing out all over the place. Couldn't salvage and threw them out. Too messy!!!!

This is excellent!!! So so good! The ONLY thing that I see possibly altering is the amount of caramel used - it was very sweet. But I am going to make this again this weekend to take to a family reunion, and am not going to change a thing!

I can only make this recipe when we have dinner at work or for a family affair, picnic etc. Unfortunately, I am diabetic and can only have a little of it. When I take it to work or to church, picnic etc. it is gone in a flash! It is easy to make and I will sometimes add a bit of coconut to it. Great snack but I don't need to eat it!

SO GOOD. I tried making this with a boxed brownie mix and it was a mess. Then I actually followed the recipe and they turned out wonderful.

These brownies are sooo good!! I have taken them to work for dinners, and they dissappear. I end up handing out the recipe very time I make them.

I make these for Christmas and one pan isn't enough for my large family, so I usually make two pans so everyone can have seconds if they want them. Love this recipe!!!!
