Nothing says comfort food as much as Chocolate.  And nothing says chocolate better than Brownies.

It is a scientific fact that women need chocolate to make them feel better.  I don’t really care what all technical jargon is or why it makes us feel better, just happy that it does and I have a very good reason to eat it.

This brownie recipe was sent to me by a friend, not sure where she got it, and really don’t care.  This is wonderful.  I would suggest not sharing these with your kids though, these are for you only.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
3 sticks butter (softened)
2 cups sugar
6 oz. melted chocolate
4 eggs (1 at a time)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 jar marshmallow cream
5 Tablespoons cream
1 box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Non Stick Spray (such as Pam)

DIRECTIONS
Mix together 2 sticks butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 oz. melted chocolate, and 4 eggs adding the eggs one at a time and beating mixture after each addition.

Add the flour, baking powder, coconut and pecans and mix well.

Spray a 9″ x 13″ pan with non stick spray and pour the batter into the pan.

Bake at 300* for 45 minutes.

While the cake is still warm spread the top with the marshmallow cream, then let the cake cool completely.

To frost the cake, melt 1 stick butter, 3 oz. chocolate, and 5T. cream together in a pan.

Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix together until smooth and spread on top of cake.

Sorry I don’t have a picture of the ones I made…they were gone before I got the camera set to go.

First of all I am sorry I don’t have a picture of this creation, but it was gone before I could get my camera out!

I had about 6 apples that were sitting and gradually becoming what I call “funky” You know what I mean, not quite rotten yet, still edible but no one wants to touch them for some unknown reason. So I needed a dessert last night as it was my 39th wedding anniversary and we never go out but I wanted something different.

So my son, who loves to cook, and I got our heads together and came up with this simple dessert. You could substitute any fruit, as a matter of fact pears would be really good with this.

Take your fruit and cut in half and take out all the seeds. Place in a baking dish. Then make a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon and put on top of
each piece of fruit.

Bake on 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour or until fruit is cooked soft.

Let the fruit cool a little, not all the way, but so it is not burning hot. Then top with your favorite Ice Cream, whipped cream, nuts, and caramel ice cream topping. Serve warm.

It is a simple dessert, easy to make, and a wonderful use of leftover apples!
