Wow! This looks really cool. I'm going to try to make some plain brownies tonight with semi-sweet chocolate, sans the mint(cuz that's what I have- how do I adjust the recipe?)(I also use egg substitute and things come out fine, because we don't buy cartons of eggs-it's easier for us to use it in this form in my house)
Also, I noticed that you didn't use the "SIde-Swipe"(silicon edged beater or whatever the version that you have at KAF? How come? One would think that you wouldn't want to miss any of that great chocolate:-)
Actually, I had failed to follow the directions on my BeaterBlade and broke it! DUH... Warning: do not use your beater blade for 2 sticks of rock-hard butter and a big pile of sugar and turning the mixer on high speed by mistake. Shattered BeaterBlade, butter/sugar all over the counter and floor. After I'd read the directions, I saw that it's NOT for ice-cold butter or very stiff doughs of any kind. Those are best left to your metal beater. It's great for batter, normal cookie dough, normal bread dough, meatloaf, muffins, mashed potatoes, anything like that. So - that's what happened to my BeaterBlade. But I just got another one today. PHEW! PJH
