Baking Adventure: Dark Chocolate Brownies with White Chocolate Chips

Hello everyone!

 On Tuesday evening about 7pm, I had this sudden craving for brownies.  My dad bought two boxes of Dark Chocolate Duncan Hines Brownie Mix in the week before, and for some reason they were calling my name that night.  I came down stairs, ate my dinner, washed the dishes, and prepared to bake these chocolatey treats.  I wasn't planning on doing anything special with these brownies considering we didn't even have frosting in the house.  As my parents and younger sister sat in the living room watching the Olympic Trials, my dad started throwing out some random ideas, some more ambiguous than the others.  "Why not  a brownie in a cupcake in  BIGGER cake?"  "Why not a cupcake with a brownie on top.  Even though he made it pretty obvious I wasn't the only one craving sweets, he did mention that there were some left over white chocolate chips from when he made my mom chocolate strawberries recently.  And thus, came the creation of these brownies!


Prepare both mixes as directed: One egg, 1/3 cup oil, 1/3 water

I used both mixes, but I stirred each batter separately.  I mixed a handful of white chocolate chips in to each batter before pouring it in.  When I poured the first batter into the pan, I added another one or two handfuls on top.  I added the second batter and added more chocolate chips.
I baked it in a glass 13 by 9 pan for 56 minutes and let it cool for 45 minutes.  Even though I didn't get to eat it until about 11pm that night, it was completely worth the wait.  I hope you guys enjoy!  :)

With Love, Chavayla♥

Great Sellers on Etsy, JasB123, and VerreDesign


Tonight, I was enjoying my occasional stroll through the Etsy Sellers Base, and I found two remarkable sellers, JasB123, and VerreDesign. Tonight's journey has really sparked my interest, I mean it really sparked my interest and creativity. Their Etsy Stores, had me coming in and out for hours at a time. Its very rare when you see a beautifully delectable "approach on a brooch" and a bracelet that left me wanting Bazooka Bubble Gum.


JasB123

This seller had a beautiful brooch, that had me thinking I
was staring at a succulent Chocolate Truffle garnished with a beautiful rose from Lindt's, but to my surprise, it was actually a very original and delicious take on the classic ladies' rose brooch. Her store, entitled "Chocolate Bon Bon", expresses her everlasting love for chocolate brown. This pendant is one of the many tasty pieces featured in her shop from Chocolate Bon Bons to Chocolate Brown Trinket Boxes. Her shop truly brings alive the saying "I never met a piece of Chocolate I didn't like".


VerreDesign

This seller had a beautiful bracelet that had me
wanting Bubble Gum. Her self-titled shop is based with her handmade art beads, and in some cases how they are incorporated into her beautiful work. The enticing and beautiful beads will always invite me back to her store, frequently.
