The Secret Ingredient

Posted in Food and Drink, Random Stuff at 5:21 pm by Glendal

In recent times, Chipotle has become a common ingredient in the preparation of foods across the country. We always keep pureed Chipotle in Adobo in the refrigerator because, added to mayo, it spices up almost any sandwich you want to make. Realizing that we already had some in the fridge, I decided to make it the secret ingredient in a dessert. The cake was easy. Just a Betty Crocker Triple Fudge Chocolate mix. The frosting was easy. Just a container of Betty Crocker Triple Fudge Chocolate Chip frosting. But the secret ingredient, Chipotle, added a hint of something that no one would ever guess. Just a teaspoon in the cake and 1/2 teaspoon in the frosting. Oh so good. I know my next batch of brownies will have a hint of Chipotle because we usually have it in the fridge. Maybe a little more than a teaspoon. Why not make Chipotle the secret ingredient in something you make soon?
