  1. For being so simple (every one of the ingredients can be found in 99% of all kitchens) the outcome of this recipe tastes surprisingly complex. I made a batch on the fly, for no good reason other than we didn't have anything to end our fabulous Saturday night dinner. Five minute prep? Actually, this has the makings of being pit crew fast if you microwave the butter in a big bowl and mix your dry ingredients in the measuring cup. So it was a low mess recipe too! But the proof is in the chewing, so to speak. Buttery delicious chewy Heaven. Would be over the top delectible with a small scoop of vanilla bean icecream. The only downside to Paula Deen's Brown Sugar Chewies is that you have to wait for them to cool! But when they do, prepare to wreck your diet.
     
  2. This recipe came out as I expected. It was delicious. I actually stumbled across it. It was a late night and we were all out of white sugar and we really wanted something sweet so my husband told me to google and see what kind of things could be baked with only brown sugar and this was the first thing to pop up. When I baked them they came out with a crispy outside and chewy center. Think of a caramel brownie. Thats what I told my husband they should be called. We were really in the mood for chocolate so we added about 1/8 cup of cocoa powder and it came out excellent. Its a must try. The other thing I love about it is that it was made out of things that most people have just sitting in the kitchen. Enjoy!
     
  3. Yummy! You can't go wrong with butter and brown sugar. These are so easy and are a new favorite of my Hubby. I made them as directed only omitting the powdered sugar dusting. Made for the Gimme 5 tag game.
     
  4. Perfectly scrumptious! I just did something different tonight - I browned the butter! Oh my goodness...browning the butter first took these bars to another level. When I make these bars, I always quadruple the recipe!! Thank you, Paula!
