I live on a farm with my husband, Danny, and our children, Jeffrey, Scott and Angie. Between farm chores, gardening and taking the kids to their many activities, I manage to keep quite busy. I do, however, like to cook and bake.

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

Yes, these are good- everyone enjoyed these uncommon brownies.

The walnuts give a very nice flavor and the carmel frosting is addictive.

Reviewed on Jan. 22, 2009 by emromero

Everyone really liked these, personally I thought they were a little bit too sweet...but that was mainly because of the caramel icing...i think next time i'll put a little less confectioners' sugar.
