Since living in Kansas with old-school, traditional bakers out there... I make brownies from scratch. My recipe is from Barbara - a 60-something year old gramma who shared several recipes with me. But I've embellished her recipes a lot. Sometimes I put different chips in the brownies.
Well since I've been sick, Jack has been jonesin' for a baked goodie. So I thought since he spoiled me rotten that I would bake him a brownie. In the middle of baking, I realized I didn't have any vanilla extract...so I used almond extract instead. Then I put in toffee bits, mini-marshmallows, and milk chocolate.
Of course, I thought it looked and sounded pretty gross and frankly didn't think that it would be eaten. But Jack really liked the almond extract in the brownie and ate it up in 1 1/2 days.
LOL.
