Categories     Bars/Brownies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 tablespoons salted butter (cubed)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (a heaping 1/2 cup)
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dry roasted macadamia nuts (see note)
1 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips
1/2 cup half and half or cream
1/2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan (I've only tested this recipe with a metal pan; you might want to decrease the oven temp to 325 if using glass). Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan or in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and 4 ounces chocolate. Melt over low heat (or microwave) until smooth, stirring often; don't let the mixture overheat. Let cool for a bit (lukewarm is fine, hot is not).
  • Whisk in the eggs, salt and vanilla.
  • Stir in the flour and macadamia nuts together until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (add time as necessary if they take longer to bake).
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely.
  • For the fudge topping, combine the 6 ounces chocolate and half and half (or cream) in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted, smooth, and glossy.
  • Set aside for the topping to cool completely, stirring often if you want to speed up the process and avoid a skin forming on the surface.
  • When cool but still spreadable, use an offset spatula or knife to spread the topping evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Sprinkle macadamia nuts on top.
  • Chill until ready to serve.

ALOHA BROWNIES

I got this brownie recipe from a magazine clipping several years ago. It must have been a Pillsbury recipe because the recipe calls for a Pillsbury brownie mix. Its very good and different. I have not made this one in the past year so do not have a picture but these are pretty as well as delicious. The dark chocolate brownies have a cream cheese icing and I sprinkle more coconut on top of the frosting. These are nice enough for the holidays and easy enough for a picnic.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of a 9 by 13 inch pan. In a large bowl combine all brownie ingredients; beat 50 strokes by hand or until well blended. Spread in greased pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool completely.

  • NOTE: I like to sprinkle more coconut over frosting right after spreading it on the brownies.
