Usually I’m the odd woman out when anyone is discussing chocolate because I really just don’t like it that much. Occasionally, I’ll eat a a hand full of M&M’s, a Hershey’s kiss, and I do love a Caramello bar once in awhile, or even some NoBake cookies. On the occasion when I do eat a Caramello bar, it’s usually in two sittings. So if it’s covered in a candy shell, peanut butter, mint, or caramel, I like it. While I harbor a small affection for milk choc0late, I hate, loathe, and despise dark chocolate or semi-sweet. There’s just something about that taste that I cannot tolerate. I blame my mother for this and all the chocolate she ate while she was pregnant with me.
Even though I don’t like chocolate, I know almost everyone around me does. I am not one to withhold baked love from others, so I often turn out chocolate chip cookies and brownies. I even have a favorite brownie recipe, not because I’ve ever tasted them but because they get the best reviews. For the last three years, all the brownies I’ve made have been from scratch. You only need a few ingredients that I always have on hand to make great brownies, and you only need one bowl.
While I’ve never tasted them, everyone loves them especially Jeremy.
