Passover Brownies With Chocolate Wine Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Reserve 5 oz. of the chocolate; cut remaining 3 oz. chocolate into chunks. Mix sugar and unsweetened cocoa in large bowl until blended. Stir in eggs and oil. Mix in matzo meal, chocolate chunks and pecans. Spread into greased 8-inch square baking pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan on wire rack.
• Meanwhile, microwave reserved 5 oz. chocolate and margarine in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until margarine is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted; set aside. Dissolve coffee in water. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Add to chocolate mixture; mix well. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into 16 squares to serve.

Steps:

• Beat eggs and sugar. Add oil. Mix in cake meal and cocoa. Add nuts (or use the nuts as a topping).
• Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 minutes. The secret to moist brownies, Pesach or otherwise, is to underbake them. Check them at 30 minutes. I also put nuts on top rather than in the brownies for two reasons: They make the top look good without having to frost them and, for those who don 't or can't eat nuts, they are easily removed without having to search for them.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and salt; mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in matzo meal, cocoa powder, and cinnamon with a wooden spoon. Switch to mixer and beat until batter is thoroughly combined and smooth, scraping sides of the bowl, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into the center of the prepared pan; spread out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan, about 10 minutes. Slice into 18 squares and transfer to a serving plate. Place plate on a wire rack until brownies are thoroughly cooled, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Make brownies:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with wax paper or greased foil.
• Melt chocolate and margarine in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
• Beat eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until pale and thick. Beat in chocolate in 3 batches on low speed. Stir in zest, matzo meal, and nuts just until blended.
• Spread batter in baking pan and bake in middle of oven until firm and a tester comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan on rack, then invert onto a platter and remove paper or foil.
• Make glaze:
• Whisk together sugar, cocoa, and wine in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer 2 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add chocolate and whisk until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in margarine until smooth. Chill glaze, stirring occasionally, until spreadable.
• Spread glaze over brownies and arrange walnut halves on top. Cut into 16 squares with a large knife, wiping it off with a damp cloth between cuts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg whites, one at a time. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Spread into an 8-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack., Mix glaze ingredients; spread over brownies. Cut into bars.
