Easy Peppermint Chocolate Brownies

I just want to welcome you to my newest blog which is all about wheat. If you have wanted to cook with fresh wheat, but have been scared...this blog is for you! I will share with you everything that I have learned over the last 12 years of cooking with fresh flour. Yep, that's right, I have not purchased pre-milled flour from a store in 12 years.

One of the many benefits you will receive from this blog is you don't have to make my mistakes! I will gladly share with you what I have learned so you don't have the learning curve challenge.

Tomorrow I will share more about fresh flour, but right now I want to share with you a recipe that I made the other night that my family loved. Unfortunately, it was one of those 'I did not measure' recipes and so duplicating it can be a challenge, but I think what I will share will be really close. And if there is a problem, I will adjust the recipe and let you know. So here you go...one tasty recipe that your family is sure to love!

1-1/2 cups honey
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup water
12 ounces of chocolate morsels
2 1 ounce unsweetened bakers chocolate
1-1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2-1/2 cups flour....I used hard white wheat
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 large eggs...scrambled

Cook first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted. Add all chocolate and continue to stir over medium low heat until all chocolate is melted. Let cool.

Add flour, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl. Slowly add chocolate mixture to the flour mixture and stir well. Add a little of the batter to your scrambled eggs and then add the egg mixture into the bowl with the batter. Mix well.

Pour batter into a 9 x 13 pan that has been buttered and floured. Place in a preheated oven of 325 for 30 minutes or until the center springs back with your touch.

Cool and enjoy!
