A Creation In The Making.

I have always been a firm believer in following the rules.  Whether it is waiting my turn in line or following the directions of a recipe.  However something happened this week that has challenged the latter.

This past week, my wife has been craving chocolate cake.  Over the weekend, she found the Nanaimo Bar mix we had bought at Christmas time.  It was as close to chocolate cake as anything we had in the house so she made it.

The bottom of the bars turned out to be almost the chocolate cake she was craving.  By the time she spread out the filling, she was disappointed at how thin a level it made. While attempting to spread out the top layer of chocolate, it got mixed a little with the filling.

My wife was very disappointed in this mix.  What we ended up with could best be described as a Nanaimo Brownie. This is where I am determined to bend the rules a little bit.

Next time, I am going to skip the step of spreading the filling out.  I am going to mix it with the top layer of chocolate instead.  Instead of accidentally making Nanaimo Brownies.  I am going to create them.
