What family doesn't have a fondness for brownies?! Our home economists created these flavorful double-decker bars. Ingredients:
blond layer: |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder |
chocolate layer: |
10 tablespoons butter, cubed |
1-1/3 cups sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 eggs |
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tubes white decorating gel |
1 cup m&m's® brand mini chocolate candies |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture just until moistened.
2. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat; stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture just until combined. Spread over warm blond layer.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack.
5. Cut into 36 rectangles (3-1/4 in. x 1 in.). With decorating gel, draw a line dividing each rectangle in half widthwise; attach baking bits with dabs of decorating gel to resemble dominoes. Yield: 3 dozen.
