BETTER-THAN-CASH BROWNIES



Better-Than-Cash Brownies image

I've been making these brownies for a while -- they're easy and inexpensive, and absolutely delicious -- but had neglected to post the recipe here. I recently made two batches of these as a thank-you gift for someone who refused to take payment for some work done for me, and they were a huge hit. I then realized I couldn't point anyone towards the recipe, as I often do, so it's definitely time to get this recipe on Zaar so it can be shared with everyone! I was told that these were "better than cash", hence the name!

Time 40m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
3/4 cup cocoa (I highly recommend using natural cocoa, not dutch process cocoa)
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; lightly grease an eight-inch baking pan (I spray it very lightly with Pam) and set aside.
  • Place the butter chunks in a glass mixing bowl and microwave on Medium power until melted (I find High power causes the melting butter to spatter all over the inside of my microwave, while the gentler power level seems to prevent this).
  • Put the cocoa, salt and instant coffee into a sieve (or sifter) and sift mixture into the melted butter -- you may need to use your fingers to force the coffee granules through the sieve -- and whisk until smooth.
  • Next, add in the sugar and whisk well; then add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition just until blended. Whisk in vanilla.
  • Using a sieve (or sifter), sift flour over chocolate mixture, then stir with a wooden spoon just to incorporate flour. Batter will be thick.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan, smoothing top, and scatter a topping of your choice (nuts, chocolate chips, etc), if desired, over top. Twenty pecan halves or walnut halves, evenly spaced out, looks great and suits those who don't like nuts in brownies, as they can easily be picked off.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-32 minutes. A tester should come out with some crumbs on it. Do not overbake or brownies will not be fudgey. Let cool, in pan, then cut into small squares. Expect these brownies to not cut cleanly, some bits will cling to the knife.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your brownie crisps. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownie crisps tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the brownie crisps hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the brownie crisps until they are just set: Overbaking the brownie crisps will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them until they are just set in the center.
  • Let the brownie crisps cool completely before serving: Letting the brownie crisps cool completely will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Brownie crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack, a dessert, or a party. With a few simple tips, you can make brownie crisps that are even better than the ones from the bag. So next time you have a craving for chocolate, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
