death by chocolate

Alton Brown's cocoa brownies, to be precise. I may be turning into a fangirl, but AB's food makes it inevitable - it is a wonder that guy doesn't weigh 800 pounds!

What makes them special: The sugar + eggs crusting to a nice crispiness on the outside while maintaining very moist chewiness on the inside :) Sifting and mixing thoroughly DOES matter, keeping the brownies light and airy - all flavor, no bulk.

That's not to say they're healthy - the recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and 2 sticks (!) of butter, so I think I'll be sticking with No Pudge Fudge for most of my brownie needs.

But the holidays ARE coming up....

Just keep telling yourself that butter is full of calcium ... good for the bones! ***twinkles***

Exactly! And eggs are full of cysteine, good for hair and nails!

And the sugar provides the energy to digest them both thoroughly!!!! ;-)
