White Chocolate Chips Brownie

April 24, 2010
During the last week of school holiday, Miss E said she felt like baking something...perhaps cookies.. something sweet. She flipped through most of my cooking magazines, cookbooks but still hasn't found what she's looking for. Then I tried suggesting that she try and bake cookies from one of my 'Foodblogger Mates' ~ My Cooking Hut.. ~ white chocolate and macadamia nuts...

"nope" she said.. (shucks... I wanted to try that!!). She ransacked my pantry... my baking box...she found a bar of dark cooking chocolate..(we had previously bought some white and milk choc chips packets... its me trying to coax her to make Leemei's cookies.. hmm another failed attempt on my part again...)

Finally.. she settled for Janelle Bloom's Brownie...with slight modification...as we ran out of castor sugar ...oops.. hence icing sugar came in handy... and instead of some walnut... she wasn't keen of any type of nuts ~ afraid that pimples might popped out like popcorn (1 month plus to her officially being crowned as Miss Teenager)... she replaced walnuts with white choc chips.

Then came the crunch... preparation works ~ melting the chocolate...
I prefer the double boil method... she was adamant..she wanted to microwave the chocolate...when I exercise my 'mom-veto' power.... she mildly posed rhetorical questions... "Mom, Remember... the chocolate fondue? ....who burnt the chocolate in the microwave?? I  know how not to burn the chocolate in the microwave... ;P"  hmmm.... what can I say...she used her Ace...and left me dumbfounded...

May be I should read her the MOM's Rules:

Rule no 1 : Mom is always right..
Rule no 2 : Always refer to Rule no 1...

  2. Chewy tak?

    I like em extra chewy and gooey.

    I programmed my kids since they were very small to say this "Mum knows best and she knows EVERYTHING!"

    They think I have super powers, magical ones which can penetrate their thoughts.

    Mwahahahahaha
