Fun  Hot  and Wicked

Tuesday evening we (Stansbury Art and Lit Society) had our annual Holiday Art Show. If you missed it you also missed my Witch Brownies, and a lot of great art from Tooele County's local artists.

On Monday evening I got my Sunrise-Sunset paintings gathered up and put them in pillowcases to protect them, the big one I wrapped in a sheet and packed out my truck so I could hang my show and be finished with my set-up in time to do a video interview with Melanie Chacon from tooeletv.com. She interviewed me and Pat. I had hoped to insert the video interviews here....but they are not available yet. Hopefully they will be available very soon.

Thought I was all ready for the day when I realized I was also supposed to bring a treat. I usually do chips and a mean salsa but I didn't have the ingredients on hand so I thought about brownies. And then I thought about halloween and jalapeņos. So I searched google for a recipe for jalapeņo brownies. If you're brave...

Jalapeno Brownies

Ingredients:

Yield 36 small brownies

2/3 cup semisweet chocolate or 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup butter
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
5 large jalapeno peppers, minced
6 -8 fresh Thai red chili peppers, minced (I just used more jalapeņos)
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch pan.
Melt butter and chocolate together in a double boiler.
Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk or beat the eggs with the salt until foamy.
Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until well blended.
Add the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until just combined.
Sift flour and cocoa together.
Add the flour and cocoa powder and mix until almost blended.
Fold in the jalapeņos, chilies and nuts.
Transfer batter to the prepared pan and bake until the top forms a cracked crust and the inside looks slightly moist, 30 to 35 minutes.
Allow to cool, then cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
Make a warning sign....and share with brave people!!!






BTW: Happy happy Halloween!!! Be safe.
