0:01
- Who's ready for the big game?
0:03
You ready, Sandy? - Oh, yes.
0:05
- Didn't you have a favorite team
0:07
that you're gonna be pulling for?
0:10
- I mean, we don't even know yet
0:11
who's playing in the big game,
0:13
- But we can't, we won't talk about it right now.
0:17
- 'Cause because you might jinx them.
0:20
Well, I know that there'll probably be
0:22
a lot of beer drinking.
0:25
- And maybe a little bourbon, and vodker,
0:29
as my Aunt Becky calls it, vodker. (laughing)
0:34
So I'm gonna share a recipe with y'all that's called
0:42
Chocolate Mounds Brownies.
0:44
And if you've ever eaten a Mounds bar,
0:48
or an Almond Joy, I just love those.
0:51
And they have the coconut in them,
0:52
and then they have the almond nuts.
0:55
Now the Mounds don't,
0:56
Mounds don't have any nuts, I don't think.
0:59
But anyway this brownie
1:00
is gonna remind you of those candies.
1:05
All right, so I'm gonna start with four ounces.
1:08
(chocolate clattering)
1:12
I think the original recipe
1:15
called for unsweetened chocolate,
1:20
but I'm not doing it unsweet,
1:23
I'm doing another kind.
1:25
So you can choose whatever
1:29
form of chocolate you choose will be fine.
1:34
All right, so I'm gonna melt that chocolate
1:36
along with two sticks of butter.
1:40
This kind of reminds me
1:41
of Maggie's decadent brownies that I make,
1:45
but they have a pound of butter in them. (laughing)
1:48
- [Sandy] A whole pound?
1:51
it's only two sticks.
1:53
- [Sandy] Did you say that's milk chocolate,
1:55
or is it dark chocolate?
1:59
Let me see what kind of chocolate did we settle on?
2:04
Do you remember Teresa?
2:06
- [Teresa] It's a sweet, it's a sweet chocolate,
2:09
but it's the bar chocolate.
2:11
- [Teresa] No, it's cocoa.
2:12
It's not a, it's a found chocolate.
2:16
- So I have a basket of nothing but chocolates
2:19
in my cabinet, so I just use whatever
2:26
strikes my fancy at the moment.
2:30
- [Sandy] Of course you do.
2:34
I feel like I still have to offer
2:36
something sweet for the big game,
2:40
or any football game,
2:42
because it just wouldn't be a party without something sweet.
2:49
So I decided that this is gonna be our sweet.
2:53
Now we don't want this boiling,
2:56
but we just stir it long enough to melt it.
2:59
And the chocolate is melting very, very quick,
3:06
because we've got some raw eggs
3:08
sitting over here, that we are gonna be adding
3:11
the chocolate to this stuff right here.
3:15
So we just don't want it to get too, too hot.
3:19
As soon as it's melted we want
3:21
to kind of take it off the heat,
3:27
So in this bowl I'm gonna add my sugar,
3:34
oh, that's my chocolate,
3:36
and I'm gonna add my beaten eggs.
3:46
I'm gonna get every bit of those eggs out.
3:59
I'm just keeping a close eye, y'all, on our chocolate.
4:03
And I'm gonna turn it off, because.
4:07
- [Sandy] Do you want me to come stir the pan?
4:11
Yeah, we don't want it so hot
4:14
that it takes a long time to cool off, you know, Sandy?
4:18
What I mean, 'cause? - Yes.
4:19
- I don't like scrambled eggs with my chocolate.
4:25
- All right, so look, y'all,
4:27
we don't have to use a mixer for this recipe,
4:30
which is one more reason to love it.
4:39
Is it, that shouldn't be still hot.
4:44
I just have to make sure it's not,
4:48
yeah, it's a little warm.
4:51
- I'm gonna set it off then.
4:54
- Yeah, or you can stick it
4:55
in the refrigerator real quick like, too.
5:08
So I'm gonna come over here now,
5:11
and take my plain flour,
5:15
and I'm gonna add baking powder to it,
5:29
Use this to stir it up with.
5:36
Don't you love making a good dessert
5:37
that you don't have to pull out the mixers.
5:42
All right, now I'm gonna add a teaspoon of vanilla,
5:48
and I let it overflow just a little bit,
5:53
because I love vanilla extract.
5:58
The flavoring that it gives you.
6:01
All right, so I've got our flour
6:03
mixed up with our baking powder and our salt,
6:08
and I'm just gonna dump that in.
6:11
And so Sandy, I think it's fine now
6:13
to add our chocolate. (laughing)
6:22
- Oh, you don't have to (mumbling) the eggs?
6:25
Since we got our flour in there,
6:28
I think it will be just fine.
6:31
All right, so Sandy what we're gonna do now
6:33
is pour our chocolate and butter mixture into our flour,
6:39
we've got it mixed up real good.
6:45
And y'all know, if there's anything in this
6:48
that y'all don't like, you know you can substitute
6:54
and put whatever your family likes.
6:58
- As far as like the coconut?
7:00
- Yeah, a lot of folks don't like coconut,
7:03
but now I think the coconut just makes this recipe.
7:10
(utensils clattering)
7:18
- [Sandy] I've always loved Mounds and Almond Joy even more,
7:21
'cause like you're saying,
7:22
I like the crunch in that Almond Joy.
7:27
- [Paula] Yes, yes, yes.
7:29
All right, now I'm just going to take my whisk,
7:33
and beat that together real good.
7:38
- [Sandy] This is gonna be so much better
7:40
than those though, because it's homemade.
7:42
- Yes, it's made with so much love.
7:46
All right, so now I'm gonna
7:47
stir in in our walnuts.
8:00
I'm already starting to swallow hard Sandy. (laughing)
8:06
Mm, Chocolate Mound Brownies,
8:11
you can't ask for anything easier.
8:22
And we're doing this in a 13 x 9 x 2,
8:24
I love 13 x 9 x 2 desserts, just love them.
8:40
This is sprayed and ready to go.
8:44
- [Sandy] I bet the women will enjoy
8:46
that more on game day. - Yes!
8:48
- [Sandy] More than men, more than men.
8:51
And maybe the children.
8:56
'Cause you gotta have something for everybody.
9:10
- Gonna get every bit out.
9:14
- [Sandy] Yeah, get all of that out.
9:29
Our Chocolate Mound Brownies are ready, y'all.
9:33
They still just a wee bit warm,
9:37
Eddie put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on that.
9:43
And I love the corner pieces.
9:53
I wonder where Sandy is.
9:55
- [Teresa] She's coming.
10:01
- Come on in girl, I'm eating it without ya, mm.
10:05
- [Sandy] Don't eat it all.
10:10
Take a piece, we'll share the plate.
10:11
- Oh, I'm gonna get the corner.
10:13
- Um-hm, that's what I like.
10:14
- I like the corner with the crust.
10:16
- That's what I just said.
10:24
so good. - That's beautiful, too.
10:32
I will never make this. (chuckling)
10:35
- Cause I'll eat it all.
10:42
- [Sandy] But perfect.
10:43
- If you make this for the big game day,
10:46
and nobody else makes a touchdown, you are sister.
10:51
You gonna make a touchdown with this,
11:00
I may have to eat one more.
11:03
Y'all, without a shadow of a doubt
11:05
Sandy and I are sending y'all
11:07
love and best dishes today, aren't we?
