Coconut Fudge Brownies

Coconut Fudge Brownie

I was feeling rather bored yesterday night and craving cake. The snow storm's rather blitzy and it would take a nutter to go out to just get cake in that weather. So, to entertain myself and my cravings, I looked up for a recipe online and found Coconut Fudge Brownies.

Plateful....


...and more

The only ingredient I didn't have is almond extract. It's alright, i'm already using vanilla beans i suppose I'll just leave it at that. The recipe called for 1.5 ounces of chocolate. That is a VERY lame amount of chocolate in my humble opinion so what i do is I UP the chocolate needed of course!

PREPARATION:

Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add the vanilla bean in to the flour mixture and stir a little. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer, gradually adding sugar. Stir in melted butter, then flour mixture, blending well. Into small bowl, pour about 1/4 of the batter; blend in coconut. Into remaining portion of batter, blend melted chocolate.

Spread chocolate batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan; spoon coconut batter evenly over the chocolate later then spread carefully to form an even layer. Bake 30 to 35 minutes at 350°. Cool in pan on a rack, then cut into squares or bars.
