I was a restless teenager.
I always wanted to be doing something, but I never knew exactly what I wanted to do.
The parents worked and then stayed at home.
No going places except an occasional trip to the mall.
Nothing to help the restless teen.
I vowed I’d always be doing something when I got out on my own.
Hah!
It has to be in the genes Internet, because I’m a homebody.
I am quite content staying home, doing my own little thing.
These last two weeks, however, life has been stuck on fast forward.
I don’t particularly care for fast forward.
There is all that going places, and not being on a schedule.
These Espresso Cheesecake Brownies, that Melissa of Life in a Peanut Shell picked for today’s TWD, are perfect for fast forward.
I only used 2 bowls~~because I don’t do all that melting of chocolate and butter over the stove~~ and baking time is just half an hour.
These brownies are fabulous.
Please make some for yourself.
You will not be disappointed, especially if your stuck on fast forward.

WOW….here i am stuck @ work…and really wanting to bit into something like those!!
Snickers. SNICKERS! Why didn’t I think of that?!
Snickers…*swoon* You are my hero.:)
Hopefully, you’ll “get to rewind real slow”–Kenny Chesney
I’m glad you enjoyed them… and I’m glad all can enjoy your post this week! It seems I have missed you for a while there…
Love the blue egg! Very pretty!
OH MY!! I’m coming over to help you eat yours!! There’s no way I could have a whole pan of those at my house – I’d eat them all. They look like what I’d ask for as my last meal.
Fabulous is the word I will use too for these brownies. I am thrilled you liked them too!
Snickers probably would have made the brownies fantastic. great idea!
Are those Snickers stirred into the brownie batter? Yum! I used almonds in mine.
I thought the brownie was dry, but your looks fudgy and delish! It’s got to be the Snickers! Glad this one helped you out so much!
Love your swirls. My brownie batter was so thick it didn’t really take to swirling.
Beautiful. I’m sure these were wonderful with the Snickers. Yummy.
If you did not melt the butter and chocolate how did you incorporate them into the batter? Looks wonderful and it is great to see your food photography again!
See that glass bowl they are in?
I stuck that in my microwave and nuked it for 1 min.
Stir, and if necessary, stick it back in for another 30 seconds.
I always do Dories recipes this way…saves on time, saves on dishes, and saves on pans to clean up.
Thank you.
Love the candy bits. Your brownies look wonderful.
I really need to start adding candy bars to my baked goods. For some reason, it’s not something that ever occurs to me. Snickers. Great thinking!
holy snickers! most excellent idea
Snicker = genius! Your brownies are gorgeous!
Your photos are beautiful! And the brownies are gorgeous – the add in of snickers – what a fantastic idea!
are those snickers i see? umm–yum!!!
Chic!! Those look amazing. And you put snickers in your brownies. How Great! No topping was a good idea. It wasn’t my thing. But I liked the rest.
Lovely looking brownies and the process pics are excellent. Yes, they are quite fast forward, aren’t they.
Snickers – best addition ever!
How did you get your chocolate to stay on top of the cheesecake layer like that??? Mine just sunk to the bottom and I tried to guess and swirl, but that didn’t work either. Swirly R NOT me. Yours look lovely.
i couldn’t wait to see your version when I knew that this week’s recipe was brownies. and I sure am not disappointed. The brownies look gorgeous. Love the clean and simple swirls. So glad that you love these.
Holy smokes. These look wonderful. Your swirls are very pretty too!! 🙂
Wow, you sure made that look a lot easier than it felt to me.
It looks fabulous!
Gorgeous as always!
yum!!!! they look delicious and great idea to leave the sour cream off – it didnt add anything!
Hellloooo snickers! 🙂 They look divine! 🙂
Did you put Snickers in the brownie?? I love you!
Love your photos! Looks great with the candy inside!
My parents never went anywhere either….I travel but truly enjoy being home!
Your photos are stunning as always !!!
Are those snickers that you threw in there?! Brilliant!
yum yum!!
i just love the piratey banter of the men in pirates of the carribean!! every time the fiance says “what are you doing” i’ll counter with “no, what ARRRR ya doin'”
beautiful brownies!!
Your brownies look great Tanya – I love the Snickers that you mixed up with the base.
Beautiful! I’m sure they were amazing with the Snickers, what a great idea.
I laughed all the way to this post, finally found your beautiful brownies. You have great swirls. I didn’t, just blobs of batter that stuck in one spot. They tasted good even the next day. Did you have any left the next day? Probably not with all the construction crew on your back deck. he he
Great job, ChocolateChic
