Anne's Laboratory: Choco Oatmeal Bars

I've been attempting to perfect this recipe which I got from my mom several months ago but it was only yesterday when I have finally gotten exactly what I wanted. I've always been struggling finding the perfect temperature since I have been using an electric oven.

For this recipe here are the things that you will need:

3 cups oatmeal

2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 tsp salt and 1tsp baking soda

1 cup butter

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

2 tsps vanilla

1 can condensed milk

1 1/2 cup cocoa

1 cup chopped nuts

Procedure:
1. Stir together the oatmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.

2. Cream butter in an electric mixer while slowly adding the sugar.

3. Beat in the eggs.

4. Add in the oatmeal and flour mixture to the butter. Mix well to form a dough.

5. Line pan with wax paper and place half of the dough in the pan.

6. Heat condensed milk in the double boiler.

7. Add in the cocoa.

8. Add in the nuts.

9. Line dough with 3/4 of the chocolate mixture.

10. Place the remaining dough into the pan, carefully lining it over the chocolate mixture.

11. Top dough with remaining chocolate mixture.

12. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit over 25-30 minutes.

Anne's Laboratory: Classic Fudge Brownies

I love brownies. These ultimately chocolatey dessert especially when topped with vanilla ice cream always makes my heart swell. I like brownies when they're soft and gooey, fudgilicious.

I've been trying to perfect how to make these delectable treats and perhaps I have finally found the way how. I used several recipes and combined them to something that made sense to me. Lol. (I pick and choose the ingredients which are readily available and substitute the rest that aren't.)

For this recipe, here are the things that you will need:

1 cup butter

1 cup cocoa

2 tsps vanilla

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 1/2 tsp salt 

2 1/2 cups sugar

5 eggs

1 cup nuts ( I chose cashew since a friend of mine got me these)

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Melt butter. Add in the cocoa and vanilla. Set aside.

3. Beat eggs and sugar. Add in the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix well.

4. Fold chocolate into the mixture.

5. Add nuts.

6. Place in a 9x9 greased pan. Top with nuts.

7. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
