Receta "Wine"ing for Chocolate
There is something about wine country that makes me crave a rich chocolate dessert. But chocolate and dessert usually mean a high calorie investment. However when I was down in Paso Robles this past weekend, while dining at the fabulous Farmstand 46, I happened upon a super rich chocolate brownie that I just HAD to tell you about!
The wine brownies made by Marché Noir foods pack a powerful punch. This 2.2 ounce brownie was rich enough to divide between three people and still satisfy our sweet tooth. Using flour made out of the skins of the grapes, their Web site says "We'll just sneak out the back with the leftovers - "you never saw us 'cause we were never here". But don't think of it as recycling, think of it as rediscovering something of great value that has always been there, right under our noses." The flour is high in iron, fiber, and Res-V as well as antioxidants which means this brownie is probably also pretty good for you :o)
In addition to selling brownies, the company also sells the flour online. I may be checking this out to make some wine cookies for my next party!
