I need chocolate!

I’m in the midst of dotting the i’s & crossing my t’s of my tax details, a kitchen renovation and a major snowstorm.  It’s just all a bit much right now, and nothing fixes me up better than a baking session and some serious chocolate goodness.

I haven’t been doing much baking lately.  I’ve been pretty fixated on kombucha.  I love the stuff, was spending way too much money buying endless bottles of it and decided a few months ago it was time to start brewing it myself.  It’s been wonderful and I’m having so much fun creating endless flavor combinations.  I’m almost embarrassed to tell you how many gallons I have brewing….

Ha – I’ve become a booch push as well.  I’m trying to share my love of brewing kombucha with friends & family, but no one shares my enthusiasm.  If you’re nearby me and want to start brewing, I’ll definitely give you what you need to get started 🙂

So back to being snowed in.  We have had a pretty mild winter thus far, so it’s not quite a “Shining” style snowed in event, but man oh man, 16+ inches of snow in less than a day is some serious snowfall.

Snowday 3/14/17 | www.craftycookingmama.com

If you’ve never experienced a good snow day, I’ll break it down for you.  Wake up, no school, no work.  Sit down to a BIG breakfast, layer up in your snow gear and then get to shoveling, snowblowing & clean-up efforts.  Go inside warm up, drink some coffee/hot cocoa/hot drink of choice, enjoy the beauty of the snow and marvel at the chaotic sounds of a full house when it should be rightfully empty & silent at this time of the week.  Get dressed in snow gear again and play in the snow until the kids are about 10 minutes from frostbite.  Battle to get them in.  Head indoors, warm up and repeat.  Depending how much snow you get – you may be repeating this process a few times.

Some baked goodness was in order here for everyone.  People were cold, people were tired, people wanted to sled.  Oh, and people definitely didn’t want to do anymore shoveling.

These rich, gooey, fudgy brownies hit the spot for everyone.  Seriously – excessive amounts of caffeine, sugar & chocolate are needed to fuel one up for the hours of snow activities.

You can use whatever jam or spread you prefer.  I usually use raspberry or strawberry – but would love to try this with some orange marmalade or cranberry butter.  I used my favorite unsweetened baking chocolate in this recipe and it makes all the difference.  Use the best stuff you got when you want good brownies.  (I love Scharffen Berger Unsweetened Dark Chocolate)

Try your hardest to not over bake these.  These brownies are a little tricky – the tops will look too gooey to be done because of the jam.  Time them and watch them.  Bake until the brownies start pulling away from the sides of pan.  The edges will start to look set.

Back to taxes, shoveling and schooling my girls on sledding.  Stay warm ♥

    I’ll be trying this recipe for our Thursday dinner with my husband’s parents who need a little extra care. I’ll be back to rate it later. My husband…the discerning finick…has selected strawberry jam. My mouth is watering already. Love your site; I’ve made it a favorite.

    Bitter orange marmelade is perfect with this recipe. Juat heat up the marmelade to make it liquid enough to mix in.
