Dark Rum Brownies Recipes

RUM-RAISIN CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Soak raisins in rum in bowl until plump, about 30 minutes. Stir butter and unsweetened chocolate in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk in sugar and eggs. Mix in raisins with liquid, then flour. Mix in chips. Transfer batter to pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Cool brownies in pan on rack. Cut into squares.

DARK AND STORMY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 13x9-inch pan with cooking parchment paper or foil; spray paper or foil with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir together all ingredients until smooth. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

GINGER, PECAN AND RUM CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a 12 by 8-inch brownie or cake pan 1 1/2 to 2-inches deep with parchment paper.
• Melt the chocolate and butter together in a pan over simmering water, also known as a double boiler. Do not let the bottom of the pan touch the simmering water as the chocolate may scorch. Set aside the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar, using either a whisk or an electric hand mixer, for around 5 minutes, or until the ingredients are nice and thick. Whisk in the chocolate and butter mixture, and then the rum, if using. Fold in the flour, and then the pecans, and preserved ginger. Stir just to incorporate the ingredients.
• Pour the batter into the lined brownie pan. Bake the brownies for 20 to 25 minutes. They should be mostly cooked while still leaving a slightly gooey trace on a knife that you insert into the center of the brownie pan. Leave the brownies out to cool slightly, and then cut them into triangles or small squares. Decorate the brownies by dusting a little confectioners' sugar on top, if using.
