Can NOT recommend: Reese's PB Cup Minis (unwrapped mini cups) for baking

I added these to a brownie mix and while the brownies were amazing warm and soft out of the oven, I have to base this opinion on the next day's results.

Warm, the mini cups were creamy and peanut-buttery. But by the next morning, they had re-solidified and turned hard and sugary. I mean, even more sugary than they are to begin with. I tasted two additional cold brownies just to be sure before I passed judgement.

I had such high hopes for these.

I hope you didn't choke down the two extra. . .

Just because you had tasted them?!? smileys/smile.gif

Yeah, I have had that experience with certain candy items added to baked goods. All the fat, the rich creamy fat seems to leach out of the candies and when the baked good is cold the candy within is pretty nasty.

 
Which only confirms my thoughts that many recipes are not tested.

It should still be edible the next day.

 
That's how I felt about the Milk Ooey Gooey Double Chocolate cookies I made

They were great warm, but cold the next day I found the huge hunk of baked chocolate kind of an unpalatable texture. I had to nuke one so that the chocolate would semi melt again.

 
I hear ya. The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry (adaptation of Robert Burns)...

Mar, you're not alone. On January 6th, I had high hopes for another Japanese "fusion" of sorts by making a Japanese "sketti" using some really good FL wild jumbo shrimp in lieu of chicken meatballs ("Japanese Sketti and Meatballs") that I concocted and loved. I just love soba noodles and tried to incorporate them into another creative dish by using shrimp and doubled ponzu sauce. Wrong!

What a dud and furthermore, what was I thinking??!

I ate most of it but this is how we learn, right?
