Re: Another Brownie Mix Flop

[Guest guest]

Have had very good luck with Whole Foods 365 GF brownie mix. Delicious, moist, chocolaty, everyone loved them. Use metal pan, not glass. Adding nuts is best, but if not, then add choc chips. Have you tried that mix?

I just tried to make a box of Cherrybrook Kitchens brownie mix and followed the directions to the letter (I even have an oven thermometer so that I know my oven was at the exact temp) but it was a total flop. The edges came out perfectly, but the middle never solidified at all! I finally cut off the edges and put just the middle back in the oven for another *20 minutes* and finally, it cooked. Total cooktime to get the middle baked was 32 minutes, when the box said 12 minutes!

What happened? This brownie failure streak is kind of depressing.

We had brownie sundaes last night and I made the Trader Joe's brand. The key is to keep them in the pan for more than the suggested 15 minutes for cooling. After a couple hours they are perfect and you can cut them in perfect squares. We always add walnuts. TaniaD Darcy <ddarcy@...> wrote: Have had very good luck with Whole Foods 365 GF brownie mix.

I haven't seen that particular mix, but I can tell you that I adore 2

different mixes: Pamela's brownie mix and the Gluten Free Pantry's

Chocolate Truffle Brownie mix. Pamela's seems to be stocked at most

Whole Foods and Rainbow in the city. I have been trying, without

success, to find the GF Pantry one again lately... might have to mail

order it?

Good luck!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned Trader Joe's gluten-free brownie mix, but my wife recently made a batch, adding some chocolate chips and walnuts. It was excellent. - ----- Original Message ----From: Lowles <heather.lowles@...> Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 9:41:59 AMSubject: Re: [ ] Re: Another Brownie Mix Flop

I also highly recommend the TJ's gluten-free mix. It is much better

with walnuts and chocolate chips added. I just made a batch last week

and my partner, who is not gluten-free, loved them. I also like the

Pamela's mix and have had several people tell me they could not tell

the difference b/w the Pamela's mix and gluten filled brownies.

I'm with you, . Pamela's and the Gluten Free Pantry's brownie

mixes are the best, IMO. I just didn't like the flavor of the Trader

Joe's mix, although I liked the price. People said this the last time

it came up, but definitely add more chocolate chips to the recipe.

, If you are frustrated with trying brownie mixes, I sell flourless brownies at the Saratoga Farmer's Market every Saturday from 9am - 1pm. They are my best seller, I sold out of them last Saturday. Contact information is on my website. Best wishes, Dana www.gluten-free-gourmet.com " J. Stiavetti" <steph@...> wrote: I just tried to make a box of Cherrybrook
