Okay, the Kinsey scale for brownies is hilarious! Well done, Donna, well done. I am definitely going to try these. I don't think I've ever mixed almond flavor with chocolate before, so this is something all new. Also never had a blondie. (ikr, but true) Thanks for this recipe!

Interesting, Craig, I would have pegged you as a fudgy guy, actually. I swing both ways, but something about cakey has the pull of home to me. We don't like underdone things in PA Dutch country!

And yes, Marina, the brownies are extremely seductive and far more satisfying than many men I've dated ;-).

Wow, Emerald, are you sure the weak knees weren't just an

Well, that picture sure makes me want one. Or at least a bite. My love of chocolate seems to be the main reason for an appreciation in me of brownies, as I've historically not been much of a pastry/baked good fan (with the exception of chocolate cake — heh, note the chocolate link again). I think I prefer cakier brownies.

Of course, it seemed to me I wasn't a fan of pecan

Tall, dark and handsome brownies! Yum!

I think you're right Donna, there is a clear link between the power of brownies and erotica writing. No doubt about it!

Though I appreciate both sorts, and will happily devour either kind, my tastes lean toward the fudgy variety.

Oh, and compliments to Herr Doktor on the delectable photos.

The picture is pretty sinful, isn't it, Neve? Arousing all kinds of dark (chocolate) desires. I hope blogger doesn't close me down for this....

Mmmmm-Mmmmmmmmmm....yum, Donna.

I'll take fudgy, cakey, any kind-y brownies. Yum. These look so good and yes, very, very erotic too.

Oh, my, Robin, yes, there are five trillion grams of carbs in my dessert. Now I do hope you can have a nibble of 70% chocolate now and then. The doctors say it's good for you now. And walnuts, too. How about gourmet dark chocolate chips and walnuts? That's kind of like a low carb brownie, right?

Ah, another brownie fan, Craig? I think there's a link with erotica writing. Are you a fudgy man or a cakey man?

I'll eat any brownie, from batter to pound cake - love it! Can't eat them right now though - I will bookmark this post for some other time. We love Ibarra around here (and can't get it - our CA relatives give it to us as gifts, or my husband brings it home from business trips - right now we're all out - boo hoo). I love the streusel topping - it sounds wonderful. As does your

Okay, you have my attention.

I am a brownie fanatic, and I do love your scale. I know for sure I could handle, and love, the Mexican Chocolate Brownies.

Bi-textural brownies. Perfect for an erotica blog. ;-)

2009-09-15T14:33:24.151-07:00

It's a very chocolate-y recipe, Danielle--do you think your boys can handle it? I think 7 oz. of chopped unsweetened chocolate would work fine in the batter. Oh, and do they sell Mexican drinking chocolate tablets in Germany? They're not all that easy to find outside of California and the southwest, I think. Although I haven't looked, lol.
