Wow, I feel like I haven’t posted in forever! I’ve been on sort of a forced hiatus from baking as I was out of town for ten days (Vail and then Tucson), came home and a week later was off to an amazing wedding in New Orleans. What a fabulous few weeks! But alas I am home (for a while at least…) and can get back to some experimenting in the kitchen.
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, chosen by Lilian of Confectiona’s Realm, was a most delicious way to break the dry spell! I stuck to the recipe which just one exception – I am not a big raisin and chocolate person (nope, never understood Raisinettes), so instead I mixed in just under a cup of sweetened coconut with the chocolate. I did also dig in a wee bit early, and found – just like Dorie said – that these are better cold right out of the fridge. YUM.
I may consider next time making a thinner layer of chocolate too because I really liked the oatmeal base. But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I really liked these best about an hour out of the oven..so gooey…so chocolatey….so wonderful.
Yours look great.
great sub with the coconut! i should’ve thought of that. I Just left out the raisins.
I left out the raisins too. How was is with coconut? I like mine best at room temperature when they’re a bit gooey, but I just had a cold one for breakfast and it was pretty good too:)
I liked them at room temperature. Though, honestly I can’t say if I would like them cold as every time I pick one up to put it in the fridge, I eat it! Yours look great!
You’re the third person I’ve seen who added coconut — I really wish I’d thought of that. They must have been amazing. Thanks for baking with me this week!
Coconut is a great idea. This was a wonderful recipe and Im glad you liked it!
Coconut sounds wonderful. Which makes me think of almonds instead of peanuts. Betting that would be even better. Welcome back!
