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.

I have had this recipe for many years, I clipped it out of a magazine & my recipe is called Baker's Turtle Brownies. Every time I make them someone asks for the recipe, so it's great to be able to email it to them! I use the Pampered Chef Stoneware 9x13 pan whenever I make these & I don't have to use the foil, since cleanup is a breeze! I've used the milk chocolate chips for this recipe & they turn out just as good!

This was a very rich dessert that is better than anything I have ever had at a restaurant, and I have quite a sweet tooth. I served it with vanilla ice cream. It was a big hit. Thanks Kraft! Great website.
