Rum Raisin Chocolate Brownies

Oh my Rose Mary. The name didn't exactly get me running here infact I didn't until I saw the picture at the top of a groups page. WOW! what an amazing looking cake.

Thank you Stormy. They are brownies, made in a square springform pan. They are really good too, very chocolaty, I made it with Ghiradeli Chocolate Chips, and that makes it rich, moist, tasty and very good, filled with lots of nuts, and moist from the plump raisins. Thanks for your comments. It will become one of my husbands favorite brownie recipes. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe with the other groups Stormy.

OK - I give up. Takes me all day to make a meal and you whip up these magnificent gorgeous meals and desserts in a flash AND you type and post your recipes! I'm over-the-top impressed. WOW - this one is a must try too.
Dang Lady Rose - ALL your recipes are a must try. I don't have enough years left in this lifetime to eat 'em all - much less make them all too! You're the best. Looks like you've got another blue ribbon winner here. Love it. and LOL, I'm richly amused by your comment that this recipe serves 12 to 16, depending on appetites. That IS funny..... not 12 to 16 in this house - not with chocolate - not in this house. Gimme a fork...... one serving!

Hi Sis...been wondering how you are feeling, I pray you are doing better.
This is just beautiful and sound like a recipe I would love (except for the walnuts, since I'm allergic to them)....and will need to adapt it into a sugar-free dessert.
With that being done....WOW, what a great post you have here.

Phyllis, you just make my day when ever I read your comments. I laugh through the entire post. I am so glad that you are the life of the party, when ever you post. I am glad I impress you Yellow Rose with my recipes. Yes I can understand your amusement about the number of servings, I am sure it would not make 16 servings in my house either, but for normal appetites it would. LOL, there are no normal appetites in my household. Pork Chops that are cut 1 1/2 inch thick my husband can eat 3 with no problem, always starts out with two, then adds to the plate, Grilled Pork Chops but he is the skinny one in the family. My how I envy him It would be nice to win a Blue Ribbon in the dessert category, since that is what I love making most, although I can do a little bit of everything when it comes to cooking, but baking is at the top of my passion list. Smile.

Thanks Yellow Rose for spreading the word with other groups about my recipe. I really appreciate it. You ROCK GIRL.

Hi Cindy, this recipe is one where you could leave out the nuts, if you are allergic to them, perhaps you could use another type of nut, if you are not allergic to ALL nuts. Ghiradeli Chocolate is just Awesome, it is so much better than regular chocolate chips, although I do admit, it does cost quite a bit more, but really does make a difference in the finished product. You can easily substitute Splenda for baking for the sugar, and I suppose a bitter sweet chocolate instead of a milk Chocolate. Best of luck should you decide to make the changes and try it. I am sure you are aware that when you substitute Splenda for sugar when baking you need to add POWDERED MILK, & bAKING SODA, TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOST WEIGHT FROM THE LACK OF SUGAR. I HAVE TRIED IT MANY TIMES AND IT REALLY DOES WORK.Add 1/2 CUP POWDERED MILK PLUS 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda for every 1 cup of sugar that is substituted with Splenda. I think those are correct, I can check to make sure if you like.

Gotcha.

OMG! Those look fantastic!
