TWD Rewind: Quintuple Chocolate Brownies
January 29, 2009 at 4:13 pm | Posted in cookies & bars, events, groups, sweet things, tuesdays with dorie | 40 Comments
Quintuple–that’s five! I’m sure you know that and I’m not trying to insult your intelligence, but I myself am still a bit shocked that five types of chocolate can fit into a single brownie. Somehow, in one little square, there is room for cocoa powder and unsweetened, bittersweet, milk and white chocolates.
Talk about a fudgy brownie…I think this one may actually be fudge! If that white chocolate glaze looks I laid it on a little thick, well umm, that’s because I did. I thought the original amount seemed a little thin so I added a bit more white chocolate and a bit more cream, and suddenly I had a thick slick of icing!
These brownies are so dangerously good, that I’d feel guilty (in many ways) keeping them to myself. Jenny from All Things Edible has a beautiful new home, and I’m going to bring them to her housewarming party!
This was Brown Eyed Baker Michelle’s TWD pick shortly before I joined the group, about a year ago. For the recipe, look in Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan (she also has it here on NPR’s website) or read Michelle’s post.

I went back and make these too and actually have made them several times 🙂 I agree with you- these are absolutely fabulous brownies! Your white chocolate layer looks just perfect!

I loved this brownie too! that was a good idea to double the glaze, cause when i made it I thought the glaze seemed a bit mean!

OMGosh! Those brownies are fabulous! They do look like fudge! And if I remember correctly, they were over the top decadent and sinfully rich too! Gorgeous photos as always!

These look delightfully mouthwaterinly fudgy! I’m currently on a little sugar fast (I’ve just been eating way too much), but I would love to break my fast with one of these!

They look incredible! I guess the irony of beautifully presented food is that it’s made to be destroyed.
