I was shopping for Country Life Gluten-Free bread in Woolworths Warilla Grove when I spotted this pretty pink box of ' Melinda's Gluten-free Goodies: Heavenly Chocolate Fudge Brownie' mix. Intrigued, I turned to look at the back of the box and saw that it had a packet of mix plus a packet of chocolate that you melt with some butter and stir into the mixture along with two beaten eggs. Even better, I saw that there was a 2 for 1 sale on all Melinda's products. Sweet! I purchased a box of the Chocolate Fudge Brownie and another box of Lemon Slice that looked nice. How had I not heard of these before?
The recipe on the box asked for a square tin but he was determined that we use the muffin pans that he then helped to butter. The result is a cross between a fudge brownie and muffin that had the benefit of delicious gooey soft centre and lovely crust outside. Win-win! I have to say that they are hands-down my favourite gluten-free sweet treat so far. You would not know that they were wheat-free, dairy-free and I can honestly say that they are so delicious they would delight even the most fussy eater. I love eating cakes and brownies when they are warm out of the oven. There is nothing like it. I have to be careful to stick to a sensible portion which the muffin tray with six fudge brownie muffins made easy.
When I showed my husband the Gluten-free brownie mix earlier in the week he gave me a 'that's nice, dear' type comment and didn't share my excitement - until today when he came back from shopping and tried one. I could hear the same moans of enjoyment and he quickly poured some cream onto a plate and yummied one portion up in record time.
One of the muffins was only half-filled in an experiment to see how it affected the cooking flavour. As you would expect it cooked a lot faster and turned into a crunchy and delicious fudge brownie cookie that we fought over and dipped into the last of the cream. YUMMM!
