April Kitchen Conundrum













Every baker knows that you occasionally have to improvise in the kitchen to get the job done when the proper baking utensil isn't at your disposal - or in this case, doesn't exist! If you missed the March Kitchen Conundrum, here's the assignment at hand: each month we feature a tool that is essential to the creation of one (or more) or our delectable brownies. If you correctly guess the tool, it's use, and the brownie flavor(s) it's used to create, you will be entered into a random drawing. The winner of the drawing will win the featured tool and a whole bunch of brownies. Goodness, that's wordy, but I think you get the point!

So take a look at the picture and answer the questions below in the comments section of this post. And pay attention, because this month's featured tool is actually used in the creation of 6 of our brownies - but you only have to identify three of the brownies correctly to be eligible for the prize. And since we're asking you to to identify more than one brownie, we're also giving the winner more than one brownie. That's right - the winner of the challenge receive the tool and a dozen brownies.

Here are the questions you need to answer in the comments section of this post:
1. What is the tool? (Remember, we've altered this tool to serve our purpose, so it may look a little funny in the picture - but that's part of the challenge!)
2. What is the tool used for?
3. What brownies is the tool used to create? (We use this tool to help create 6 brownies - you just need to correctly guess 3 of the 6)
4. What's your email address? (So that we can contact you if you win!)

We'll select a winner at random on April 26th. Click here to search our brownie varieties to sleuth out which brownies the tool is used to create. Good luck - this is a tough one!

  4. I think that it is some type of wire wisk or brush with its tips cut.I think that you poke holes in the top of the brownies after they are removed from the oven to get the air out so that you get a denser brownie when they cooland settle. Kind of like when you let a roast rest before you carve it.I think that you use it on all 30 varieties (plain jane, cocoa incredibles, sweetheart,etc.)of your delicious fudgy brownies.

  10. The tool for the April conundrum is a whisk. Modified of course! And it is used to do drizzles on top of the brownies. It is used on Peppermint Peace, Perk Up, Mintuition, and also on the two new ones, Smoked Sea Salt and Caramel, and Strawberry Cheesecake Brownie. My email is schirles@yahoo.com.

    The new "tool" of the month is a weed wacker.
    It is used to harvest the wild Maine blueberries that are used in the production of the "Singin the Blues" brownie.
    It is very efficient in the harvesting of the berries, but the wires need to be replaced frequently as they have a tendency to break. If they become frayed, then the blueberries are damaged and can only be used in blueberry pancakes.

  16. I hate this game. I don't cook enough to have any idea what these tools are. I missed March's tool too. Ask me to guess something I use everyday like the laptop. No just joking this is fun for those of you who go into the kitchen. Funjudy
