Country House Brownies
"I believe I found this recipe in one of my mother's old cookbooks as a teenager and made them so much that I practically memorized the recipe. It's one of my and my family's favorites. This is not your typical brownie. It's a different take on a blonde brownie--with gooey chocolate chips, crunchy walnuts and chewy coconut. They're best described as a sinfully rich chocolate delight."

This recipe was made on 10/5/10 for the " October Is Dessert Month Event ". I did something to this recipe that I hardly ever do, it was made as written. ;). I did have to bake this about 10 minutes longer than what is written( my oven runs really odd ). The taste of this wonderful creation is a cross between a sinfully rich cookie and a decadent brownie. I WILL make these again ( just not too often ;) ). Thank you so much for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) " -
WOWSER! :) These are very rich blond brownies, loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut! I melted the butter and brown sugar together over low heat, mainly because my brown sugar had almost turned to stone! :) I used hazelnut extract and toasted 3/4 cup walnuts in a hot iron skillet before chopping them ~ Made for Andi's May 2010 Farm Cooking event in the Photo Forum! -
This was ok, but wasn't as fudgy as I'd hoped -
This was just the cure I needed for an intense chocolate craving! Very good - like a very big chewy chocolate chip cookie! :) Made and reviewed for Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap.

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
