Why Do We Love To Bake
Socialising over food is just one of the reasons more of us are baking goods at home.
Baking unlocks all your senses
Whether it’s the smell of brownies cooling or the feeling of kneading dough, according to psychologist Dr Linda Blair, “baking appeals to all five of the senses,” which in turn increases feel-good endorphins. It can also work as an antidote to the daily grind often dominated by modern tech and staring at screens. “When we bake, we can get in touch with all our senses – sight, taste, feeling, sound and, in particular, our sense of smell, which can reawaken happy memories that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought of.”

This great recipe has been brought to you by kingarthurflour.com website , thanks for sharing it with us
Here below is a list of the ingredients you will need from the website
A buttery, crunchy shortbread cookie topped with creamy dark fudge, jam-packed with marshmallow and toasted pecans? now THAT’S our idea of what to do with a chunk of dark chocolate!
CRUST
- 1 cup (16 tablespoons) salted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt*
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- *If you use unsalted butter, increase the salt in the recipe to 1 teaspoon.
TOPPING
- 3 cups chopped semisweet or dark chocolate or chocolate chips*
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup toasted diced pecans
- 3 cups (half a 10.5-ounce package) mini marshmallows
- *go ahead and use a 16-ounce bag of chocolate chips, if you like; the “missing” 2 ounces will simply produce a slightly softer topping.
