This was a misadventure in baking.
I spent a little time - OK, an hour or so - on Pinterest today and saw so many yummy vegan recipes I wanted to try. I got to baking and suddenly forgot all the tidbits of information I've learned over the years. Like, for example, if you add any liquid to melted chocolate it will immediately seize up. Not in a couple of minutes. Immediately. I made what I knew was going to be an ooey, gooey, yummy, dark chocolate brownie which I was going to top with my creamy chocolate peanut butter ganache. Right before pouring the ganache over my brownie I decided to add a little maple syrup to sweeten it up a bit. Needless to say, I had to spread the lump of peanut butter and chocolate with a fork. It looks terrible, but it tastes great. I mean, peanut butter and chocolate are a classic combo, right?
Pretty sure I won't forget that you can't add liquid to melted chocolate. (Add it before it's melted and it will blend beautifully)
