C'mon. It's winter. Go bury your fish in the yard like a real Viking.

I just made MJ's brownie recipe this afternoon. They are everything promised...YUM! ....and easy to make!

Aw thanks CG. I think it was a recipe I found and modified by making my own chocolate since I didn't have any bakers bars or chips on hand. It is probably a combo of two similar recipes. I am glad you enjoyed!

I made the brownies again ....and in the middle of baking, I ran out of propane! Yikes...well the brownies were underdone, in some places and over done in others. as about to throw them out, when a friend of mine decided test them first...well lo and behold, they tasted like real chewy toffee carmel flavored brownies. He is begging me for more...so will try to re do the underdone/overdone varietal! Ha!

Does any one have a recipe for making pudding from scratch ?

I know jello is real tasty , but every time I make some thing I
have to be sure no sugar, just in case our son and family drop by . So I can offer this to them.
I sub. the maple for sugar and have learned that pretty good by now.

The reason I am asking is I cant find it on the internet, I know its there..........But they keep leading me to different sights.

Thank you !

The basic pudding recipe is 3 tb. cornstarch to 2 1/2 cups whole milk. You can then add flavoring like vanilla extract, cocoa, etc. You need about a third cup of sugar, but many sugar substitutes are sweeter than sugar, so taste first.

I don't know how it would work with maple syrup, but maple sugar might work. If you used maple sugar you wouldn't need any vanilla or chocolate flavor.

Mix all this up and cook it like Jell-O pudding.

I like them goooooey. They would probably make great cake balls too!

(crumble and add frosting and roll into balls, dip in chocolate)

Thank you Dax,

No the maple I get is pure no sugar. And it cost a arm and a leg but the children are worth it.

We still eat some of the bad stuff. But only when I am
sure they wont have it , or that I will forget !

Thanks again.
