Chocolate Malt-O-Meal Brownies

Anyone who have bought a box of Chocolate Malt-O-Meal has seen the Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownie recipe on the box. I was not impressed on how these brownies turned out when I first made them many years ago. To be fair, at the time I made them without the chocolate chips. This time around I substituted the baking chocolate with 1/3 cup of baking cocoa, because it is what I had on hand. I almost always have baking cocoa on hand, and rarely have the bars of baking chocolate. This time, I am happy with the results. For some reason my brownies did not turn out all that fudgy the first time I made them years ago, this time I was not disappointed. They turned out as delicious as any other fudge brownie recipe. This recipe is found on the box, or here at Malt-O-Meal's web site. Edit July 4, 2020: I updated the links for these brownies. And what the heck, here the recipe from the site: Ingredients ½ cup butter or margarine 1 sq. (1-oz.) semi-sweet baking chocolate 1 cup sugar ½ cu

Favorite Toffee Squares Recipe

I have done many posts that include these tasty treats, but now it is time to share this tasty recipe. I am doing this as part of my YouTube Christmas in July series . This is my favorite treat at Christmas time, but I should make these more often, these cookies are delicious! You will need: 1 cup of butter 1 cup of brown sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups of flour 1/2 teaspoon of salt 6-8 ounces of milk or semi-sweet chocolate like chocolate bars or chocolate chips optional chopped nuts for the topping Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Cream butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix in the flour and the salt. Spread the dough (which might be challenging) onto a greased baking sheet and form a rectangle that is 1/2 inch thick. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. While the bar is still hot, add the chocolate on top and give it a minute or two for the chocolate to melt. Evenly spread out the chocolate and top with chopped nuts (or other toppings of your choice)

Vintage Buttermilk Waffle Recipe

I love to make waffles, I have multiple blog posts (at least 18) with a variety of ways to make waffles. Here is another recipe I followed from the Betty Crocker cook book I inherited from my grandmother. I do find this book interesting because it is from the 1930's. First I have to mention is still in pretty good condition. That either tells me she took very good care of this book or she did not use it much. I am going to say she hardly used it. I use my Better Homes and Gardens cook book all the time and the book is not in the best shape. This is the page for the waffle recipe. I made the Nut Waffles with the richer waffles recipe. If you noticed in the caption, it says that the nut waffles are special for supper. I have many times made waffles or pancakes for dinner. In the times I was a single parent, it was easy to make pancakes or waffles for dinner because it was quick dinner after a long day at work. You might notice in the photo the recipe for sweet milk waffles. I am s
