We’re not sure when the custom began to make every day of the year the “National Day of Something or Other”…
But we just realized we missed an important holiday in December… National Brownie Day! :-)
However, given that any day can be Brownie Appreciation Day, we’d like to remind you that you can STILL enjoy delicious, sweet chocolate brownies… without souring your health!
And with that, we share the story of how our sister company, Wellness Bakeries’ healthy and delicious Blissful Brownies came to be…
=======
Customers have been asking us to create a brownie formula for years. But the chemistry of baking is an exact science. You can't simply replace the refined sugar and flour and expect the same results.
In fact, those ingredients (as unhealthy as they may be) help to give brownies the traits we all know and crave – the gooey centers... chewy edges... and shiny crackled tops.
When we set out to re-create this classic all-American treat, we didn’t know how difficult it would be. In fact, the notes from our test kitchen reveal 76 trials – all with different formulas, ingredients and preparation methods.
Along the way, we shared a LOT of brownies!
We gave them away to friends and family, the UPS driver, the ladies at the post office, even the tellers at the bank. The responses were always positive. But we still weren't satisfied.
We kept testing... and testing... and testing...
Until one day – 76 trials later – we created the perfect old-fashioned brownie with a gooey, fudgy center... crisp, chewy edges... a shiny crackled top... the richest chocolate flavor... and just the right amount of sweetness!
You won't believe how easy they are to make... just melt, stir and bake. And with just one pot, clean-up is a cinch.
We also created a free recipe book, with quick tips for baking the BEST brownies (including variations you can use to create YOUR perfect brownie)... plus five easy recipes for bakery-style brownies at home, including:
- Pecan & Caramel Turtle Brownies
- Salted Caramel Brownies
- Brownie Bark
- Cast-Iron Skillet Brownies
- Coconut "Mounds" Brownies
