hello classic crew and welcome to the festival of bites
00:00:04.520
if you are new to my channel last year during hanukkah i did vlogica so i vlogged every single
00:00:15.280
day of hanukkah that's eight days and i know that in the christian community a lot of people will
00:00:19.240
do vlogmas where they'll record every single day in december leading up to christmas so i wanted to
00:00:24.340
the jewish version with vlogica but this hanukkah i'm going to be doing something a little bit
00:00:30.240
different and i'm going to be calling it the festival of bites if you didn't know this is
00:00:36.140
known as the holiday of the festival of lights so it's a pun and actually jacob my husband came up
00:00:42.820
with it so we are going to be doing the festival of bites this year and every day of hanukkah i'm going
00:00:47.700
to be making a different treat or a different dessert or a different food i haven't totally
00:00:52.200
decided on the menu for the entire eight days yet but today we're going to be starting off with
00:00:56.060
something incredibly simple incredibly easy coming out of a cake box and i'm actually using a recipe

00:01:50.500
get into today's treat so we are going to be making pumpkin brownies i wanted to do something simple
00:01:57.500
to start off because this can get really intense last year i made donuts i want to do that again this
00:02:03.440
year and that is a big endeavor um we do a lot of fried foods on hanukkah because the miracle was that
00:02:09.140
the oil that was supposed to light the menorah lasted much longer than it should have it lasted
00:02:14.660
eight days and that was a miracle so we fry foods in oil to commemorate that miracle so this isn't
00:02:21.940
fried what we're making today isn't fried but we will be doing some fried foods for the rest of the
00:02:27.180
holiday but we're going to keep it really simple so what you're going to need is one brownie mix of
00:02:32.320
your choice a half can of pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling six ounces cream cheese three tablespoons
00:02:41.300
sugar one tablespoon pumpkin pie spice and a half cup milk chocolate chips and this recipe comes from
00:02:49.200
the cookie rookie also known as becky hardin and i've never made it before so hopefully it turns out
00:02:54.860
well so i actually did not buy separate chocolate chips for this recipe because the brownie mix that
00:03:00.740
i got was ghirardelli and i know it already comes with chocolate chips so that was just like an easy fix for
00:03:06.660
me so let's get started okay so we're going to start off by just doing the brownie mix so i didn't
00:03:13.280
actually mention in the list of ingredients the things that go with the brownie mix but it's water
00:03:17.440
oil and eggs when you use this recipe and i'm going to preheat the oven to 325 next up i'm going to
00:03:25.520
grease the pan so i'm just going to take some vegetable oil on a paper towel and just grease the pan
00:03:30.700
all righty so now i'm going to just follow the instructions here place water oil and egg
00:03:40.820
in a medium bowl and stir until fully mixed easy peasy add brownie mix and stir until well blended
00:03:48.660
spread in prepared pan so i'm not going to bake it yet because there's still that extra little add-on
00:03:55.020
that we're doing for the pumpkin brownies now it's time to mix
00:04:15.500
last but not least we're going to add the brownie mix
00:04:18.060
i actually love this whisk i don't remember i think jacob bought it for me and i just love it
00:04:29.600
i prefer it very often to a to an electric mixer and there's something really nice about like
00:04:36.700
getting into a recipe and like mixing it by hand i don't know that's how i feel
00:04:43.340
okay so brownie mix is done now let's move on to step number two so we're going to mix the pumpkin
00:04:51.020
cream cheese sugar and pumpkin pie spice in another bowl and mix until very smooth
00:05:06.940
now i'm adding in those three tablespoons of sugar
00:05:09.500
and last but not least one tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice now one thing i'm trying to be a lot better
00:05:29.340
about and i know is not really a tip but it is a good tip to use anyways is to clean up as you go
00:05:35.820
and now we mix we mix it together apparently i have a mixing song i didn't know that before today
00:05:45.340
all righty let's check on this recipe okay so the rest is pretty simple all i have to do is put half of
00:05:52.940
the brownie mix on the bottom layer the pumpkin mix in the middle and then put the rest of the brownie
00:05:58.540
mix on top and then bake it for the amount of time that's on the box plus 10 minutes or until you stick
00:06:05.260
in a fork and it comes out clean so let's go ahead and do that
00:06:24.220
okay so this is it done i definitely used probably too gooey of a brownie mix and this pan is a little
00:06:30.220
bit big so it's not going to look perfect but it still looks pretty delicious so we're going to pop this
00:06:45.820
so here is the finished product it looks delicious i can't wait to dig in so i'm going to take some it smells really good too
00:07:00.220
it doesn't hit you quite at first the pumpkin flavor and then it gets you and it's delicious
00:07:09.740
i probably have chocolate all over my mouth so that was the first treat in the festival of bites
00:07:14.940
all of the treats that i'm making are actually for jacob's office so i'm making these i get to taste one
00:07:20.460
