Superbowl food is that it should be down-home and distinctly American (albeit occasionally with a Mexican accent). Since I’m usually a guest, and not the host, at Superbowl celebrations, I tend to focus on what to bring for dessert. My top choice? Brownies.
Super-fudgy ones. After all, what could be more American than that? Plus, they’re portable, chocolaty, and almost everyone loves them. And because I’m a kitchen-sink-girl, I like my brownies glazed, with a little drizzle for eye appeal. This recipe is an
adaptation of my favorite, created by my friend Judith Sutton, from her book Sweet Gratitude. I changed the chocolate proportions a bit, and used Scharffen Berger baking chunks in the batter, a convenience product that I recently discovered, and added the
glaze. These ultra-fudgy brownies are ideal Superbowl fare – when your team is winning, why not indulge in an super-rich, indulgent brownie? And, if you’re losing, calories be damned, might as well drown your sorrows in an excellent brownie. There’s always next year. Go Giants!
