Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix

A Christmas Tradition That Melts In My Mouth Every Holiday Season

Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix for the Holiday Season

Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate brownies melt your heart as they warm your mouth.

Good Day Christmas Luminaries,

Today I want to talk about Ghirardelli’s Premium Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix.

One of the things I love about Christmas is baking. 

My family and I love brownies. If I bake Ghirardelli’s dark brownies and nothing else for the holidays I’ll be just as happy as if someone had baked a dozen different desserts for me.

Have you ever used a recipe only to find that it needed your extra special touch? Well, that’s how I feel about these decadent brownies. Now, don’t get me wrong, these babies are more than scrumptious and I love them just the way they are when they come out of my oven.

Here’s the thing with me and these brownies. Although I simply love these moist squares I like to do something a little different with them.

The recipe calls for oil, water and one egg. I find these brownies to be super fudgey (is there such a word).

And even though I do enjoy fudgey brownies, I love cake-like brownies so much more. So to make my brownies more cakey, I add two large eggs to the recipe. You can also add a little coffee to the mix if you really want to bring out the chocolate favor. 

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownies Are The Perfect Blend of Decadence and Goodness

Ghirardelli Dark Brownie Mix for the Holiday Season

These brownies maybe from a box, but they are just as delicious as if they had been made from scratch. That’s how wonderful they are.

Furthermore, these brownies are not too sweet at all. That’s another thing that I love about them.

At one time I was hooked on Duncan Hines’ brownies, but once I discovered Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate brownies, I have not looked back.

They are more expensive than other brands that you find in the supermarket, but they are more than worth spending a bit more.

Another thing that I love about this brownie mix is that they come with chocolate chip morsels added in the mix. If you’re a chocolate lover like me you’re going to love when you bite into your brownie square and a chocolate morsel meets your mouth and make you feel like you’re on another planet because that’s just how good they really are.

Every Time I Bake These Brownies I Add More Chocolate Chip Morsels To The Mix

Wait! I have to tell you this. The other thing that I add to the mix sometimes is peanut butter morsels and you know why? You guessed it. I love peanut butter.

You know chocolate and peanut butter going well together and the two are indeed a marriage made in my heart.

When the chocolate chip morsels and peanut butter morsels are poured and baked into the mix you have a dessert so special that guests would not be able to tell if you made them from scratch unless you told them, but why would you! 

Each and every year at Christmas I bake a bunch of brownies for my family. It is with pleasure that I go into my kitchen to whip up these mouth-watering chocolate squares. I love that I get to watch my family enjoy this one very special dessert every year every Christmas. 

Believe me when I tell you that it doesn’t take long for our hands to reach into the cake plate to grab one brownie, then two and three until they are all gone. 

I think it maybe time for me to get out the Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie that I bought from Target yesterday because after all Christmas, for me, is everyday!

Why don’t you make yourself some Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownies and treat your family to a special kind of love.

Merry Christmas everyone.

The Best Sweet Potato Pie Ever

A Recipe of Sweet, Sweeter, Sweetness Called Sweet Potato Pie

 

The Best Sweet Potato Pie

The best sweet potato pie recipe is here!

My mother, God bless her, made a sweet potato pie that was too good to be true. She was the greatest cook and baker.

I watched her every move in the kitchen and remember every ingredient that lovingly went into that thick strong glass bowl each and every time she created deliciousness all throughout the year. 

At Thanksgiving I could smell those tasty pies permeating throughout our home. When they touched my tongue my tummy smiled.

Now I bake these same pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My husband and children love them.

Here’s the recipe.

  • Five large sweet potatoes
  • Butter
  • Carnation Milk
  • White sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Nutmeg
  • Ginger
  • Cinnamon 
  • 3 frozen pie shells

Christmas Friends I do not measure any of my ingredients. All I can suggest is that you use them to your liking, your own taste. 

One thing I can tell you is that I do bake my pies for about an hour. They turn out perfectly amazing every time. Brown and tan in color with rich velvety goodness define this heavenly warm slice of love.

Have yourself a very amazing Merry Christmas,

Cyndi

Moist and Delicious Dark Chocolate Brownies

The Best Dark Chocolate Brownies Baking in the Oven
Desserts for the Christmas Holiday

One of the best desserts for the Christmas holiday is Ghirardelli brownies.

I am a brownie lover. Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownies are my absolute favorite. They are rich in dark chocolate and just plain mouth watering comfort food delicious.

When I first discovered these rich and moist brownies I went strictly by the recipe on the back of the box which is one egg, a quarter cup of water and a half cup of oil. This recipe was good, but because I love cake-like brownies I decided to change this amazing recipe a bit to my liking. 

Now when I bake the brownies I add two eggs instead of one. I also add a little more water and an extra teaspoon of olive oil. Olive oil brings out the dark chocolate flavor in these super moist brownies.

These brownies yield about 24 cake-like brownies depending on how I cut them vertically and horizontally.

Desserts for the Christmas holiday is something that my family and I look forward during the holiday season.

Every year at Christmastime and all throughout the holidays I bake 2-3 batches of these sweeties. My family gobbles them up in a day. 

I keep at least nine boxes on hand every year. This year I grabbed all nine boxes while they were on sale at Big Lots. 

My family always enjoy eating these brownies with a tall bottle of spring water. The two go well together but that’s because we adore water.

Should you decide to try these brownies, please let me know your thoughts.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone.
