Deadly

So this is a total cop-out, but trust me, if you try this recipe, you'll be glad you did. If my camera software were here, I would post a beautimous picture. But it's not, so I won't. Meanwhile, try this out.

Marbled Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:

1 bar (4 oz) bittersweet baking chocolate

1/2 c (1 stick) butter

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

1-1/4 c sugar

1/4 tsp salt

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 c flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 c semisweet chocolate baking chips

1 c white chocolate baking chips

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9-in square baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure some of the foil hangs over the sides. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces. Place the chocolate, butter and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH until the chocolate and butter are melted. Stir to combine and set aside.
3. Place the sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the chocolate mixture, stirring to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Sift in the flour and baking powder; mix well.
4. Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan. Bake brownies for 30 minutes. Remove the pan from oven.
5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the brownies. Return brownies to oven for 1 minute. Remove from oven; allow the pan to sit for 1 minute. Lift the brownies out of the pan (using the foil as handles). Spread the chocolate chips over the brownies for a marbled effect. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

So, we used semi-sweet baking chocolate, because that's all I had, and vanilla chips. I think next time around we're going to try peanut butter chips. And then I'll be forced to try butterscotch. I also used an 11x7 pan, and it all turned out just right.

No, I didn't bother to figure out the Weight Watchers points, because it looked scary. Yes, they are extremely rich. You have to cut small pieces! They were yummy hot, lukewarm, and cold. Party on!
