Marmalade-Nut BROWNIEs

Bbrp hari yll sy lagi pengen nyari variasii brownies dgn rasa yg agak beda, gak sekedar 'chocolate' flavor tp gak juga 'blondies'... pengen nyoba kombinasi baru yg 'unusual'. Nemu resep ini... an unusual fruit, nut, and spice combination. Kali ini sy gak berani pake spice-nya (cayenne papper)... khawatir gak cocok ama lidah & perut anak2. Hasilnya... sensational flavor brownies (sekalipun belom bisa ngalahin our favorite brownies he...he..he..). Marmalade nambahin rasa manis dan chewy texture, kacang bikin brownies ini crunchy... dan spice biasanya akan memberi flavor excitement (di resepnya di tulisin 'that surprising hint makes the chocolate taste even richer' :) menggoda bgt gak sih?)
Kalo pakai cetakan 22x22 cm... bikin 2/3 resep ajah. Lihat yg takaran warna orange. Jadi 16 potong.
