Chocolate recipe for Bob

[Guest guest]

Here's my favorite:

Loaded Brownies

1 pkg low-fat brownie mix

1 (10 oz) pkg miniature marshmallows

1/2 lb caramels

1/4 cup evaporated skimmed milk (canned)

Chocolate Topping (recipe below)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare brownies according to box

directions and pour into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish coated with

nonstick cooking spray and dusted with flour.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overcook.

When done, top with the marshmallows and return to the oven for 3 to 5

minutes longer, or until the marshmallows are soft. Watch carefully.

In a small microwaveproof bowl, heat the caramels and the evaporated

milk in the microwave for 1 minutes; stir and heat 1 minutes longer or

until the mixture is smooth. Drizzle the caramel mixture over the

marshmallows. Drizzle with warm Chocolate Topping.

Chocolate Topping

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup cocoa

1 1/2 tblspoon cornstarch

2/3 cup skim milk (not the evaporated used above)

1 tspoon vanilla extract

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch.

Gradually add the milk, stirring until well blended. Bring this

mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook for 1 minute, stirring

constantly. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.

Last time I made this, the brownies were not coooked enough and I had

to spoon everything out and serve as globs. Still tasted good - but

looked awful. So while the recipe says " do not overcook " be sure it

is cooked enough.

Also, it's a low-fat recipe if you only eat a small chunk - not if you

eat the entire pan! Give them away and earn points with your mail

carrier, neighbors or whoever. Or it freezes beautifully - just make

sure you put small portions in each package you freeze and don't pig

out. I'm speaking from experience...

Aloha,

> Hi I tried low-fat ice cream some time ago, but the results

weren't too favorable, so I stick with the frozen yoghurt. I'm eating

devils food cookies in between words so it's taking a little longer to

get this written.

> Those recipes sound good. don't they make a microwave version? LOL

I can cook when the end justifies the means. If it wouldn't be too

much trouble to post them I would appreciate it. Have a good day. Bob
