Overwhelmingly Chocolate Brownies

Ever want brownies that weren’t too sweet, but had a wonderfully deep chocolate flavor? These are your brownies. A recipe of my own devising, three kinds of chocolate sate the hedonistic desires which lay dormant in all of us.

Buttercrust Apple Pie

This recipe, the base of which was not my original creation, has been revised to a finer point by yours truly. Play with some of the spicing to your tastes (it should be easy, since you’re making the mix separately from the apples). The butter, poured over the lattice crust, fries the crust while it bakes to a beautiful golden-brown finish every time.

Trees

The oak stands singly
As soil washes away
A forest of one?

Wave

In a tsunami
Not one droplet acts alone
But thousands as one

Alchemy

Lightning is fire.
Wind is naught but the water.
What, then, makes men whole?

War

The lightning flashes,
Stripping the tree of its bark,
Ensuring its death.

Tree Bark

A tree from hardships
Grown in ground where it was born
Becomes too rigid

Seeds

Even plants must mate
But bees carry not my seeds
So what can I do?

Find below, the recipe for Stippichs, the best cookie ever made.
