Chocolate Brownies

It's not always whatever we planned will turn out the way it should be. Sometimes the result will be much better than expected but otherwise, a disastor! Good if it turned out great but if it's disastrous, then you have to think fast and be extra creative to cover the failure, if it's possible that is! Hahaha... Speaking of failure, a few weeks ago, I, for the very first time, tried using my brownies tray with cutters which I had bought quite sometime back. And using a new recipe without reading the feedback about the recipe. My brownies overflowed from the tray, not that much though but since it had rised quite a bit, so the cutters were 'buried' in the brownies. It was a job to take out the cutters, resulting to a tray of broken brownies...err can we even call it brownies? I doubt it... hahahaha...

To make things worse, I had done the brownies for my mom's visitors, our neighbour when we were very young. Aunty Asbah came with her daughter who is the same age as me and happens to be my school mate. When they arrived, I was busy in the kitchen, having a hard time handling the brownies. Managed to get a few pieces of so-called-brownies and the rest... huhuhu... undescribable! I served the few not-so-bad-looking-brownies and start thinking of what to do with the rest. Alhamdulillah, something popped in my mind and I ended up with these....

..........not bad huh??!!! Mind you, it's not the recipe to be blamed, but me, who doesn't study properly how to use the cutters.....

Well, that pleasant failure doesn't put me off. I still have the guts to try out another brownies recipe. But this time, I used the recipe recommended by Mak Lang . Thank you Mak Lang for your continuous encouragement and support. May Allah bless you....

Made this brownies for Azlina. Thank you Lin for ordering with me. I am much relieved when Lin is satisfied with the brownies... Alhamdulillah....
