BAM Brownies {for Bacon S'mores}

When the editors of Bacon S'mores put out a call for recipes to their writers, I took the challenge. Demi wrote: The recipe has to be for some variant on the idea "bacon s'mores." Okay.

Here we go...

BAM Brownies. BAM = Bacon + Aleppo pepper + Marshmallow

This makes a 9"x13" pan full of chocolatey, gooey, deliciousness.

Soft butter, for greasing the pan
6 large eggs
2 C organic granulated sugar
1 t ground Aleppo pepper
12 oz melted butter
2 C unsweetened cocoa
2 t pure vanilla extract
1 C white whole wheat flour
1/4 C organic, raw cacao nibs
4 T maple syrup marshmallows, unset - still in cream state
1/4 C oven-crisped bacon, chopped

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter an 9"x13" baking pan. In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients, except flour, nibs, bacon, and marshmallows, and mix to combine. Add the flour and nibs; stir till just moistened.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan. Spoon dollops of the marshmallow cream onto the top and swirl to marble. Sprinkle chopped bacon over the top and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Check for doneness with a toothpick method. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
