Brownies......

so today we made brownies. Actually we made them yesterday, but they were a failure until this morning. We followed the recipe but apparently, our stevia sucks. We put in the right amount but they tasted like savoury salty, chocolate biscuits! Our dad came home and unwittingly took an enormous bite of one (like he always does to desserts) only to spit it out and exclaim, "Why am I eating this??" Yea, they were that bad. So we broke out our unsweetened chocolate, milk, and fail-stevia and attempted to make a chocolate ganache for them. But guess what? It tasted bitter... :( So with a bad mood and an upset stomach we plopped the bitter ganache on the salty biscuits stuck it in the fridge, and called it a day.

So this morning, J (the boy) gave the biscuits a second chance and ate one...for breakfast. (yum!) And guess what? He liked them! Especially when topped with peanut butter and bananas. (Naturally More pb if you were wondering...its amazing! ...shameless plug! :P) So then A came home (the girl) and ate one after lunch, and it was good! We'll still have to test it on the dad, but so far the ganache at least is a success.

So here's what we used:

We followed Lisa Job's brownie recipe in "Sensational Stevia Desserts" for the (biscuits) I mean brownies. The ganache we made ourselves without any recipe! :O

It used:
1 1/2 squares unsweetend baker's chocolate. (The other 1/2 a square mysteriously melted on the stove's burner. o.o wonder how it got there? A..?)
A bunch of milk, possibly 3/4 cup? We kept adding it to taste to try and get rid of the bitterness of the chocolate.
4 packs of NOW stevia extract, but whatever stevia your using is probably better.
Some corn starch. Our mom kept adding it, so i'm guessing like 2 tablespoons? enough to make it more pudding than ganache, but who actually knows what "ganache" is anyways?

I don't expect anyone will actually try to make this, but if you do, don't eat it until the day after with peanut butter or bananas...or both! Otherwise you might as well eat it with your turkey gravy and call it dinner.
