The paraffin makes the candy shinier, and, from what I recollect, the
paraffin, mixed with chocolate, sets up better and firmer.

Hi everyone,
All this talk about adding things to brownies brings up a question. In the
Our Special cookbook there is a recipe for chocolate butterscotch
brownies.
It is brownie batter topped with a marshmallow layer then topped with
butterscotch chips. Here's my dilemma: the recipe says to melt the chips
with a tablespoon of shortening and top the cake. This book was compiled
prior to microwaves playing such a big role in cooking. Do I still need to
use the shortening? Also, what about candy recipes that call for paraffin?
I've heard two differing opinions: one says to add the paraffin, another
says I don't need it. Which is right?
Thanks in advance,
Nancy Martin

Yep, or junior mints would work too. In fact there's probably a few
candies
that would work for this, like heath bars. It probably needs to be a
thinner
candy bar.
Now I'm thinking about this with a layer of Hershey's Cookies & Cream
white
chocolate candy bars in it. Mmmmm.

How about pepperment paddies? Put half of the brownie mix in a pan then
put
pepperment paddies on it and then the rest of the brownie mix and then
cook
it.

I'd think that dried cherries, raisins, or other dried fruit might be an
interesting thing to add, too. Chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut
butter
chips might be interesting, and mini-marshmallows might be good too,
especially if you put half the mix in the pan put in a layer of them,
then
the other half of the mix. And let's not forget caramel.

Hi Allison,
I don't have the article you asked for, but have added nuts and chocolate
chips to brownie mixes before to make them tastier. I have also mixed in
half a cup of peanut butter before.

Hello,
I have a box of brownie mix and want to make the brownies a little more
special to take to a church lunch. I remember reading an article
somewhere
with suggestions for additions to brownies. Does anyone have it?
