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...

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

The Original Fudgsicle Mishap

                             My Grocery Cart About 3 months ago I was in the market as usual,  doing my weekly grocery shopping, in the second to last row: the freezer section.  I wanted my weekly fudge pop indulgence.  I grabbed the package in the backity back!! The most frozen one I could find, and decided to blog this wonderful gluten free treat.  I realized I had never blogged about this fudge pop being gluten-free, and how silly of me to keep this tid bit to myself.  So I grabbed my phone to take a picture of the front and back of the box.  I gasped! omg, omg, omg.  I starred at the ingredients.  MALT FLOUR.  Yikes!  No way!  It can't be.  How come I never noticed this before?  Did the ingredients change?  Was it always like this?  Something had to have changed and then to top it off I noticed at the bottom of the ingredient...
