The Bigger Brownie Question

[happytypinggirl]

Maybe this was covered in the edge or middle thread....i didnt read it cuz the answer seemed so obvious that there could hardly be discussion (edge, of course!) so i hope im not duplicating.

Do you ice your brownies? It seems crazy to me. A brownie is so perfect as is, that it seems to ice it would be overkill. I like a nice, thin, chewey, no nuts, no icing brownie. I can tolerate a lil powdered sugar on top for effect, but no more than that.

i would think only a maniac would ice a brownie, right? :tongue: ;)

[Sheeplovr]

not as good as frosting on meatloaf

[reillyluck]

i completely agree. why would you put icing on brownies? that just seems silly.

leave them as they are.

[Gvac]

The truly mentally insane put nuts in them.

To destroy something as perfect as a brownie by putting those bitter, foul things in them should be considered a crime.

Ditto for chocolate chip cookies.

amen!

[MisterSmith]

Chocolate brownies with good chocolate icing can be a real treat. They are also so rich that you don't have to eat much to satisfy you.

You can also use the icing to combine flavors without compromising the purity of the brownie. Coincidentally this can allow you to create several flavors out of the same batch of brownies. Peanut butter, Kahlua, and Mint are a few of my favorites.

[angrymissy]

You have to frost a meatloaf w/ ketchup/brown sugar glaze

[reillyluck]

u people are nuts if you dont like nuts in your brownies. You guys are cool, but you're not that cool.

[Heather 8]

Icing/frosting sucks in general and is even worse on a brownie.

Walnuts in brownies are OK as long as they're used sparingly.

[disneyspy]

and blueberries in your muffins

[reillyluck]

dont even get me started.

[OGC]

u people are nuts if you dont like nuts in your brownies. You guys are cool, but you're not that cool.

If you like nuts so much, I have a couple for you. :dry:

HTG and I are apparently soul mates because we both like plain old edge brownies with no frosting and no nuts.

As I become more of an Old Fuck, I find it easier and easier to overdo it with sweetness.

oh man i hate when you see some delicious looking brownie in a bakery..or worse yet, see a really decadent looking dessert at a restaurant like a brownie bottomed hot fudge sunday, which you start drooling over, and craving like crazy...and then...and then...and THEN....they tell you it has nuts. FUCK!

[Marc with a c]

i prefer chocolate chips over nuts in my brownies.

[brettmojo]

Icing on brownies is disgusting. Hard icing is ok but only if the brownies themselves are cakey. Of course it'd have to be chocolate icing.

Oh and nuts in brownies is blasphemous. Awful. Chocolate chips are acceptable.

[Sheeplovr]

never heard of icing a brownie. who does that? you do need nuts in a good brownie tho'

Nuts and Fruits ruin everything


take a look at the message board

but also nuts don't belong in anything baked or cooked the over bearing taste of sead never adds to the chocolately goodness of a brownie

[sailor]

brownies without nuts are effectively just fudge.

[Sinestro]

never heard of icing a brownie. who does that?

Little Debbie

Little Debbie

she clearly stated she does not. can you even read?

i dunno whats funnier. the spelling of "sead" or that sheepy commented about the overbearing taste of seed.

all i wanna do...when i bite into the brownie...is taste brownie. and maybe powdered sugar. you want to top it? warm it and then top it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and touch of hot fudge. But the fudge is for the ice cream, not the brownie.

[happytypinggirl]

I agree; I hate nuts.

But I don't mind icing. My favorite bakery makes the most amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing brownies with icing.

Have you not been paying attention?
The brownie is perfection as is. Icing is a travesty. ala mode is for crazy people.
Save the ice cream for a warm slice of apple pie.


And for the record; I'll take a middle piece. Naked. A wee bit of walnuts is A-OK.

are you using a double boiler? if not, you definitely should. Also, i never use Oil, i use butter. since the THC works better with Butter.

strain the weed from the butter with a cheesecloth. you dont need the weed because the thc is already in the butter. but if you want to keep it in there, thats your call.

no burning. no weird taste. just good old special brownies.

they're chewier. if you get too thick, then you end up with uncooked middles (which has its advantages) or cake-iness.

but it is true that im quite insane.

omg. lock it up. in fact, lock the whole board up. now i can be happy. :drunk:

I'm still playing with my from-scratch baking.

However, my sister-in-law is the desserts queen. I think she got all her recipes from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, which was just reissued in a 10th anniversary edition, so you may want to start there.

I can't remember if Alton has a brownie recipe, but if he does it should be in I'm Just Here for More Food, which is his baking book.
