Each year I make a Christmas baking plan that's pretty ambitious. This year, I'd got in my head that I was going to make some brownies and decorate them like trees, but then I wound up doing some tree shaped shortbread instead.
Since I already had the brownie mix, I went searching for ideas of how to use it and my friend Sue suggested these Brownie Crackles from Taste of Home. I had all the ingredients on hand except the semi sweet chips, so I used dark chocolate chips instead.
I think I like these even better than the traditional chocolate crinkles, the flavor and the texture are amazing. They were a big hit at our gathering on Christmas Eve, so they'll definitely be on the master list for next year! Thank you to Ellen G. for sharing her recipe, and to Sue for putting it on my radar!
