OMG I'm in love....
 

I made brownies for the first time ever yesterday (yes, I know I'm a little old for having just discovered these, but it's not a traditional British thing remember!)

They are absolutely amazing! And the recipe makes soooo many! They are almost crispy on the outside and wonderfully dense and fudgy in the middle.....mmmmmmmm

/me looks all over the thread and as yet cant see the recipe for these scumdiddlyumptious goodies!!

;):D

When I'm not trying to eat in a more healthy manner ... they are one of my favorite treats ... a bakery here does them with the chocolate frosting and then a drizzle of carmel sauce on top of that .... carmel brownies they call them ... yummmmmm!

Ooh, I'll post the recipe this evening, if I remember.....god bless Nigella Lawson, the sexiest woman in cookery!

*giggles @ the discovery*

I've known the decadence and I stay away from them like I would the plague!

You might like to try this!!: Heat a nice 3" square in the microwave and top with your favorite ice cream!! Pour some chocolate syrup on,maybe some nuts,whipped cream...whatever turns you on :) :)

ahh I didn't see any whipped cream like Americans are used to whilst i was over there in the UK...I think the closest is your clotted cream???

For my birthday, i wanted fresh strawberries and whipped cream on angel food cake. Neither Mayhem, nor his family had ever eaten, much less heard of angel food cake. So His mother and i planned even before i came over to see that she had the right ingredients. She lent me her kitchen and i baked the cakes. They seemed to like it well enough :D

Welcome to the wonderful world of brownies---just becareful, they go straight to the hips, thighs and ass!

I've convinced myself that I don't like brownies, as a move towards self-preservation. :D ;)

Brownies are wonderful things, all gooey in the middle and . . . .

Sorry, you mean those fudge slice things.

What was different about the whipped cream we have in England Lizz? Clotted cream is something completely different...much more dense and solid, whereas whipped cream is lighter and more airy. And then of course there's the nasty sweetened stuff that comes out of a can and dissolves as soon as it hits something warm....

Oops! That ^^^^^^^ was me, not him! LOL

Ah ha! you do have it---i just couldn't find it whilst i was over there. but then it took me 3 or 4 grocery stores to find ranch salad dressing. LOL!

the nasty sweetened stuff from the can, lol, is the kind i was looking for. :D

LOL - it's in every supermarket! usually with the milk and 'proper cream'. To me, whipped cream is thick cream that you take home and whip yourself with a whisk.

YUM....I miss real whipping cream. But alas, it's not on the diet. :(
