  3. Yes, you can make them in a baking dish, too. (I did that when I made 2 batches) just butter the cold dish. With cast iron you can put the cold mixture in the pan that has been heated.

    Let me know what ya think. I love them and love the way my house smells with them baking:)

  6. Mmmm, these sounds yummy! I'm planning on having a little bake to myself this weekend so I might give them a go! Sorry I missed your blog party, by the way. I tried to get around as many as I could on the day but it was tough going! But I'm glad I found it eventually. Looks like it was wonderful :) Well, thanks for stopping by my place- it led me here. Happy Halloween!

  7. Oh yum! I am definitely going to have to bookmark this for trying soon! I just bought a few bags of apples (earmarked for applesauce and pie filling), and this would be perfect. ;)

  9. yea, that was my attempt at humor.

    I really think you could use veg oil and maybe even some applesauce in place of the butter:) Just use the butter in the pan cause it does give the brownies a bit of flavor.

    I've actually been trying to cook healthier, I think I will experiment with that recipe a bit.

    Casey I'm trying your soup recipe today.
