I did not know it was possible to lust after brownies until I created these. These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are rich in milk chocolate flavor, with a very fragile floral flavor, and a hint of salt.

The inspiration.

These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are my February mood. Floral and sweet, truly unique. I received a bottle of rose water as a Christmas gift, and have been dreaming of a way to bake it with some chocolate. I've yet to publish a chocolate recipe on the blog, and what better way to introduce a recipe than this one that I adore. Milk chocolate + rose is celebration of the month of February, offering sweet escapism. And unique flavors that are sensory joy with each bite.

Note:

This batter is thick, so if it is underdone, continue to bake as long as needed. I have made these brownies on several occasions, and once or twice I needed to bake them an additional 5 minutes.

    1. I'm so glad they were enjoyed by your book club. What are you all reading? Would love a good recommendation for ours! Thanks for trying, xo Sarah

    Very disappointed. Had a grainy texture and way too tart. I did notice that the recipe that the cocoa stated 1/3 cup 75 grams. I use a scale to measure ingredients and it looked like way too much which may be the problem.

    1. Hi Jamie, oh dear that does sound really dissapopoiting. Sorry these brownies weren't a hit for you. I worried about the cocoa ratio, so I headed to google to check other brownie recipes. Actually the first 10 I saw on google all had more cocoa powder, and the top three had considerably more. I don't think the cocoa powder alone made them bitter, it was more likely the type of melted chocolate used. Especially if it was really dark. I really can't explain the grainy texture. I've made these dozens of times and never have they been grainy.Thank you for trying my recipe! Wish I had a better explination to help with the outcome, they are usually very popular.
