Silver Dusted Moon Brownies



**found in InStyle Magazine October 2010

Serves 12 (24 Brownies)

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract (try Tahitian Vanilla or Mexican Vanilla-It gives it a sweeter taste)
4 large eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
1 cups GF all purpose flour (try Bob's Red Mill)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 sheet of vellum for stencil 
Powdered Sugar (Confections Sugar)

**the original recipe calls for silver sanding sugar, but I am not 100% sure that something like that is gluten-free, so I offer confections sugar which will do the same trick and taste better.  This recipe is covered gluten free.

If you don't have vellum, wax paper will do.  And if you don't have a utility knife, then scissors or an exacto knife will do, if you don't have confections sugar, colored sugar will do.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour 13x9 inch baking pan (flour with gf flour).  Set aside.

2.  Place a metal bowl into a pan and barely simmering water; put in both chocolates and butter; stir until melted.

3.  Stir in sugar and vanilla then add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.  Incorporate salt and flour into batter, then fold in chocolate chips.  Pour into prepared pan; smooth top with a spatula.

4.  Bake for 25-30 minutes (for gluten free baking it may be less, check after 15 minutes).  

5.  Allow brownies to cool completely in pan before slicing into 24 square pieces with a sharp knife.

6.  To make stencil, use a utility knife to cut out a crescent-moon shape in a small piece of vellum.  Place stencil over each brownie and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Enjoy!! xoxo Julie
Have a spooktacular Halloween!

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
