Barb’s Royal Brownies

I had my Weber Smokey Mountain smoker going the other day to make some Tasso ham and to smoke some beans. After the cooking was done, I decided to whip up this great recipe for Barb’s royal brownies. I found the recipe in the most recent copy of Chile Pepper magazine (sadly, no longer around!).

Since this came from a magazine devoted to all things zesty, I knew that the brownies would have some great kick. And they did. They were fantastic! Chewy, chocolatey, a hint of smokiness, and just a bit of kickin’ spice. Absolutely great with some of my homemade Neapolitan ice cream.

The ‘Barb’ in this case is Barbara Milroy, one of the owners of Texas Rib Rangers. Pick up a few bottles of their rubs and sauces, you’ll love them. And tell them how much you love Barb’s Royal Brownies.

Nutella Pretzel Brownies

Brownies. Pretzels. Nutella. You don’t really need to say any more about these little Nutella pretzel brownies. They’re a bit sweet. And a bit salty. And a bit nutty. They’re really, really good. The pretzels also add a nice crunchy outside, and the fudge brownies have a smooth, creamy chocolatey inside. Great for a crowd. Well, if you can keep people eating too many of them that is!

Nutella Pretzel Brownies

The Perfect Combination

I have to admit, Nutella’s rather addictive. It was tempting to not lick the spoon while frosting these Nutella pretzel brownies. It took all of the energy I had to stop myself.
