Mom's Bday (Revel Bars)

I also wanted to make revel bars for the party coz I love it really much! Hehe.

Ingredients: 3 c. Quick cooking oats, 2 c. packed brown sugar, 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour, 1 bar butter, 1 tsp. salt, 2 pcs. eggs, 1 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsps. vanilla extract.







Cream butter, add sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs.








Meanwhile, sift flour together with baking powder and salt. Mix together with oats.







Pour in flour mixture into butter mixture, mixing well using a wooden spoon.







It would then become like this.








Make the chocolate: 1 1/2 cocoa powder, 2 tbsps. butter, 1 cup condensed milk, 1/2 tsp. salt.
Heat all ingredients over low heat in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.





Press 2/3 of the oat mixture into the bottom of a slightly greased 9x13" pan or wider. Spread chocolate over the top and dot with the remaining mixture. It should look something like this. Bake for 30-35 mins at 350 F.






How it looks like when cooked. Cool completely before cutting into bars.








Already cut in bars, placed in paper cups.








Ooh la la...








I got a chewy soft and fudgy chocolate bars.

hi there! i tried this and i think i did not make it right but it still tasted amazing. my chocolate part of the bar is still quite watery. when you put it in the saucepan when will you stop? how can you describe the consistency of the chocolate part?
salamat!

You can try to cook the chocolate mixture a little bit more if you want. Just be careful not to burn it. The mixture will not become watery because we're using condensed milk. Consistency is not too thick but not watery either (still pourable and spreadable). Also try to bake your revel bars longer as you may have underbaked it. A simple tip to achieve chewy revel bars is to refrigerate the 'oatmeal mixture' for at least 30mins before baking it. :)

Mom celebrated her birthday last Sunday and I was the one in charge of the sweets. Since I'm not YET into the fancy world of cake decorating, I decided to make everyone's all time favorite moist chocolate cake , and it's ULTRA moist this time! Ingredients: 2 1/2 c. cake flour, 2 1/2 c. sugar, 6 pcs. egg yolks, 1 bar butter, 3/4 c. cocoa powder, 1/4 c. evaporated milk, 1 1/2 tbsp. baking soda, 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 c. mayonnaise or 1 tbsp. vinegar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Cream butter until light and fluffy, add sugar and egg yolks. Dissolve cocoa powder in boiling water. Combine flour mixture (sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) alternately with cocoa into butter mixture. Incorporate milk in between. Stir in mayonnaise and vanilla. Batter becomes thin. Pour in a greased and lined pan. Bake for 40 mins at 35

I'm so Frustrated!

I'm so frustrated right now.. I thought I will be able to make it right this time, but to no avail.. All I wanted to make is a pipable, glossy, chocolate fudge icing that we usually see in bakeshops. Is that hard to achieve? Thought it was easy... I'm sooo depressed.. huhu! Anyway, I saw a chocolate fudge recipe online, I think it was just okay.. so here's the actual recipe: 1 c. sugar 1 c. water 4 tbsp. cocoa powder 6 tbsp. cornstarch 1 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. oil 1 tsp. vanilla I just followed the recipe, combined the first five ingredients over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to boil and get thick, removed it from fire and stirred in the oil and vanilla. The texture was smooth and glossy, it looks perfect but not the taste. The taste is just okay. Back to my story, the only thing I altered in the recipe to get it pipable was increase the cornstarch to 2 tbsp. It turned out great.. I've even practiced piping borders with it. It was lovely. So now that I al
