0:00
- Alrighty, Mikey, for your trip
0:02
I'm going to make you some chocolate chip brownie bars.
0:09
- I think you're gonna like it.
0:11
- I'm gonna use a 13 x 9 x 2 pan.
0:14
Cause I'm gonna make like a stiff batter.
0:18
This is gonna be very, very close to, you know,
0:23
the double chocolate gooey butter cake.
0:25
And I know you're like those.
0:29
All right, so I'm going to spray this.
0:31
So it'll come out of our pan easy.
0:34
Right now okay, so Mikey, I see you're measuring
0:38
a third of a cup of the vegetable oil
0:40
and that's going to go in our box of brownie mix.
0:43
And I'm going to crack two eggs for ya.
0:45
And then you just need a fourth of a cup of water.
0:49
And I've got you two eggs.
0:51
And they'll tell you on the brownie box, you know,
0:53
just whisk by hand, like 50 strokes.
0:58
- You gonna count your strokes?
1:00
- After you put this in, right?
1:05
Now I'm going to get started on the bottom part.
1:09
I'm going to start with two sticks of butter
1:11
and one and a half cups of brown sugar,
1:14
and I'm gone pack that down in there good.
1:20
All right, now in this bowl, Michael,
1:23
what I'd like for you to do right here
1:24
is measure two cups of all purpose flour.
1:29
- One teaspoon of baking soda
1:30
and a half a teaspoon of salt.
1:33
- And I'm going to start creaming this, and this is,
1:37
this is gonna be real thick.
1:40
Okey doke, and you leveled those off good, right?
1:46
- Now you know bakins' a formula and you gotta measure.
1:51
And uh, just whisk that together for me.
1:55
And if you would just break me two eggs off in there.
2:05
- Yeah, I think it's creamed enough,
2:09
If you would, take this spatula
2:12
and go around my bowl with me.
2:14
So I can incorporate it all.
2:17
- Looks like peanut butter.
2:18
- Does look like peanut butter, dudn't it?
2:21
All right, and then while I'm beatin',
2:26
if you just dump our dry ingredients in.
2:31
Maybe not all at one time, but maybe like half.
2:36
- See how stiff this is going to be?
2:46
When we go to pat this, what we probably gone need to do
2:48
is just kinda run some flour on our hands,
3:01
- Okay, press this out?
3:02
- Yeah, we just gonna press that evenly.
3:10
I tell you what why don't you reach over
3:12
and get our chocolate chips
3:15
and I'll work on this for you?
3:19
'Cause it can be tedious.
3:27
- So you just sprinkle these in?
3:29
- We could, you just gone sprinkle them on top.
3:31
If you wanted to, you could put a layer
3:35
of coconut, a layer of nuts, peanut butter morsels,
3:41
you know, you've got.
3:44
You could really just do kind of anything you wanted to do.
3:48
very much like that base.
3:51
Okay, so just put a layer of chocolate chips on
3:55
and then Michael, we're just goin' to pour
3:58
our brownie dough, our brownie batter,
4:02
right on top of that and we're gonna bake it
4:05
at 350 for 40 minutes.
4:12
Just spread 'em around, make sure everybody gets a bite.
4:23
if you'll go around and hold that bowl.
4:26
That glass bowl is heavy.
4:32
You getting closer to Costa Rica, baby.
4:37
And those rooster fish.
4:40
If you catch one, now I want you to take a picture of it.
4:47
- Alright, baby cakes, 350, about 40 minutes.
4:56
All right, look how pretty these are Michael.
5:02
You're gone be popular with your buddies.
5:08
Look at these Michael.
5:09
- Oh, those look good.
5:11
Do you want to try one before we go to.
5:14
- Of course I do, let's save that corner one
5:17
I like the corner ones the best.
5:20
How many guys are gone be there?
5:22
- Well three, I think.
5:24
Rick and his brother, I mean.
5:26
- Okay, so I need to make y'all three packs, right?
5:32
- Just in case their packs don't make it to them.
5:34
You have an extra pack.
5:36
- In case I get hungry on the plane.
5:44
- You know, your wife is in the food business.
5:46
I can't, I can't send you off with ugly snacks.
5:51
- That's right, thank ya.
5:54
All right, there's that corner for you.
6:03
- Pretty good, idn't it?
6:05
And like I said, you could mix this up, shuffle it up
6:09
You know, I just love spending time
6:11
in the kitchen with family, especially my husband.
