After Eight Brownies



 I got this recipe via The English Kitchen.  If you like After Eights these brownies are to die for!

Here are my measurements

1 c unsalted butter

1 c dark chocolate squares

1 c granulated sugar

4 eggs

1c white flour

1/2c cocoa

1c After Eights broken into rough quarters


Instructions

Preheat oven to 300F

line a 9" x 9" baking pan with parchment paper


in a small glass mixing bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave for about 2 minutes and mix the butter and chocolate together

In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar and eggs together until mixture is thickened

stir in melted chocolate and butter

mix in flour and cocoa 

Mix in 2/3 of the After Eights 

Pour into the baking pan and bake for 15-17 minutes

Brownies are ready when the edges come away from the pan.

Top with remaining after eights and bake for 2 more minutes

Leave the brownies in the pan and cool completely.  I cut them into 16 delicious squares and some can be frozen if you are not eating them all right away.

Oh now I want brownies...haha. I am backing off sugar and starches. I had a little sugar in my coffee yesterday and in my hot tea. Next hot tea I will use honey, forgot I had some. I can't use lots of other stuff due to the fibromyalgia. But the brownies look amazing.

your family is fortunate they have you for a mom /wife. When I use to cook i was so unimaginative ..it was the same rotation of foods ever month - kind of mixed up but rarely anything different. If I had to do it over again I would still probably do that because I'm not a cook. But... I can do great things in the yard.

I am improving with age I think. But everyone has different interests Sandy, I have never mowed the lawn (yet) but I do love weeding.
