It all started fine. The batter went together fast and looked soft and beautiful. I threw in some chocolate caramel chips.
Mmmmm.....Looking good. I can hardly wait to taste them.
I was supposed to cook them 15 to 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, I peeked inside....and I saw trouble........
I had overfilled them. A couple had dripped right on to the oven floor. They were not done yet. With a big sigh and deflated enthusiasm, I cooked them another five minutes.
They were a mess. They stuck to the pan on all edges. I tried with little success to run a sharp knife around and pop them out. They broke and cracked and many of the tops pulled off completely.
At least half of them ended up in the garbage.


DH seems to like them as I found 6 gone when I got home from work today. As long as he enjoys them, that's all that really counts........
I will have to try them tonight and see how they taste.
Bummer-I hate when that happens especially when you are excited about a recipe. Mom watched Martha Stewart today and wanted to make the chicken and dumplings her guest had presented. Mom even went to the store to get some of the ingredients-I was glad as she was so unwell yesterday. She called me earlier as she had misplaced the dumpling part of the recipe. I got online and read it off to her. I'll have to let you know if it was a success.
ReplyDeleteBTW-burnt the steak on the indoor grill tonight- :(
They couldn't have been too terrible if he ate 6!!

Anything chocolate is never wasted. They look yummy! Next time you have a chocolate disaster, just crumble them up and mix with a bit of softened vanilla ice cream. Put the whole thing into a bundt pan and freeze. When you need a quick dessert for company, they will think you quite clever when you serve them this "disaster"! "-)
ReplyDeleteCaramel and chocolate chips...yum! I'll bet they still tasted good. They're not a failure as long as DH likes them.
ReplyDeleteI like Giddy's suggestion.
We've had snow now for 3 days, not a huge amount, but snow nevertheless. Hurry up spring!
How is it there?
I'm glad I don't have to wear hats, but that's rather a pretty one. Nice modeling job :)
