MALTED "FOREVER" BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 × 8-inch pan with 2 sheets of foil, crossing one over the other and pressing the foil into the corners and up the sides. Lightly butter the foil and set aside.
• Bloom the cocoa: In a large heatproof bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and ¼ cup boiling water (4 oz / 113g) until smooth (this will bring out the flavor of the cocoa).
• Melt the chocolate, butter, and oil: Add the semisweet chocolate, butter, and oil to the bowl with the cocoa mixture and set it over a medium saucepan filled with about 1 inch of simmering (not boiling) water (make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water). Warm the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool until lukewarm.
• Add the sugars and egg: Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the chocolate mixture. It will look grainy and you might see some of the fat start to separate from the rest of the mixture, which is normal. Add the whole egg, egg yolks, and vanilla and whisk vigorously until the mixture comes back together and looks very thick, smooth, and glossy.
• Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, malted milk powder (if using), and salt and whisk slowly until everything is combined, then whisk more vigorously until the batter is very thick, a full 45 seconds.
• Fold in the chocolate and bake: Add the milk chocolate to the batter and fold with a flexible spatula to distribute. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading in an even layer all the way to the corners.
• Bake the brownies until the surface is shiny and puffed and the center is dry to the touch but still soft when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool, chill, and cut: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan until they are no longer hot, about 1 hour, then refrigerate until the bottom of the pan feels cold, about 1 hour longer (this results in a chewier texture). Use the ends of the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice the brownies into 16 squares.

ORANGE BROWNIES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in cocoa until smooth. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Without stirring, add the sugar, flour, pecans, orange juice concentrate, zest and salt. Pour cocoa mixture over the top; mix well. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking pan., Bake at 350° for 28-32 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. , For frosting, combine confectioners' sugar, butter and orange juice concentrate. Spread over the brownies. Cut into bars; garnish with orange zest if desired.

O-M-G BROWNIES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, melt the butter, 1 cup chocolate chips and sugar in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix until just well blended, do not overmix. Spread batter into a 9x13 metal pan, that has been sprayed with cooking spray, and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 23 minutes, or until a cake tester, inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven to a wire rack and allow to cool in the pan.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Chocolate Butter Cream by placing the chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving for about 1 minute. Stir until melted and well blended and add the vanilla, stirring again. Allow to cool to a spreadable consistency and whip until creamy with a small wire whisk or spoon. Spread thinly over the cooled brownies and once set, cut into 24 squares.
