  • Quick Mock Brownie

    food, kids
    We make a lot of quick desserts that look like "melt chocolate and fat". Often this is chocolate and peanut butter ("chocolate peanut butter sauce", Lily's current favorite breakfast, on bread) or chocolate and butter and/or cream ("chocolate sauce", really ganache). Lately I've been making a variant that I've been calling "mock brownie" because it tastes something like the gooey inside of not-quite-cooked brownie that's just out of the oven.
