Brownies Unlimited

Saw their new brownie flavors and bought myself a box of 12, with all their new offerings like Red Velvet, Sunburst, Rocky Road, Choc O' Malt and S'mores, plus some of the old ones.

Starbucks Christmas 2011

Since the sem break has already ended, my sister and her family went home from their 2week vacation in our house. Our house are now quiet again. I miss seeing them and playing with my niece and nephew, that I wanted to get out of the house to stop feeling the blues.

But going out of the house also means shopping and lots of eating for me.

In the middle of shopping, I got hungry that I went to Starbucks for a snack. I was happy that their Christmas Offerings were already available that day.



I wanted to order the Texan Chicken BBQ Wrap but it wasn't available that I just settled for the Turkey and Chicken with Apple Stuffing on Whole Wheat Walnut Bread



It was hard eating this sandwich with utensils because the bread was hard. The apple stuffing inside also tasted like a nutty liver spread while the walnuts in the bread tasted off and old.

For dessert I ordered 3.

The S'mores, Peppermint Brownie and Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.

The filling of the S'mores tasted like mocha buttercream than something made of marshmallows and chocolate.



The Chocolate Chip really was a cake version of the cookie. I like that the chocolate part was thick and good.



While the Peppermint Brownie was moist, minty and very sweet.


Can't wait to try the rest of their offerings soon.

S'mores

I collected a lot of recipes, mostly desserts, from the Internet. And I vowed to try it one at a time. This (S'mores) was the third dessert recipe that I tried & liked, actually this is my favorite for now.


S'MORES
Brownie cake on top of a chocolate graham crackers crust, finished off by melted bittersweet & white chocolate chunks and marshmallows on top, YUMMY!




It's a brownie version of s'mores.


WITH BITTERSWEET & WHITE CHOCOLATES AND MARSHMALLOWS


WITH BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATES AND MARSHMALLOWS


I tweaked the recipe a little and decreased the amount of sugar and eggs.

What's good about baking your own dessert, is that you can control the amount of ingredients to use based on your preference (taste and health-wise).

I guessed the bottom line in baking is to use good quality ingredients, especially of chocolates. I use Ghirardelli for cakes & brownies and local chocos for sprinkles.
