CHEWY BROWNIES

GoPro or dashcam footage can provide invaluable clues in hit-and-run accidents. Unfortunately, some drivers who hit motorcyclists choose to leave the scene instead of face responsibility for the harm they have caused. Many hit- and-run accidents go unsolved, but a video footage might capture the driver’s license plate number or other identifying information about the car that hit you.

Who doesn’t love a good brownie? If you love chewy brownies like we do, this recipe is the best! By adding bittersweet chocolate chunks just before baking, these brownies get gooey pockets of melted chocolate. The perfect treat for a spring picnic! Yummy.

INGREDIENTS • 1/3 cup unsweetened

• 2 tsp vanilla extract • 2 1/2 cups sugar • 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Finally, your GoPro or dashcam footage could help someone else if you witness a crash and have it recorded on your camera.

cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed

DIRECTIONS

1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 350 F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Leave enough foil hanging over the sides so you can lift the brownies out of the pan. 2. In a large bowl, whisk cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Add unsweetened chocolate and whisk until chocolate is melted. Whisk in melted butter and oil. (Mixture may look curdled.) Add eggs, yolks, and vanilla and continue to whisk until smooth and homogeneous. Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated. Add flour and salt and mix with rubber spatula until combined. Fold in bittersweet chocolate pieces. 3. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake about 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted halfway between edge and center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Transfer pan to wire rack and cool 1 1/2 hours. For the chewiest texture, it is important to let the brownies cool thoroughly before cutting.

Motorcycle safety awareness month has us thinking about our former client and friend, Mike Reeder. Mike was a motorcycle enthusiast who loved to share his knowledge and experience with others as a member of local clubs, organizations, and motorcycle groups. After working 30 years at Newman Tech, Mike became a certified motorcycle safety instructor and turned his passion into an occupation, teaching courses at North Central State College. A friendly, encouraging, personable guy — teaching came naturally to him. Above all, Mike loved to take road trips and rides with his family and friends who remember him fondly. Ride on, friend.
