Classically Abby - Welcome To The FESTIVAL OF BITES! ⧸⧸ Night 1： Pumpkin Brownies

00:00:00.000 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

00:01:02.880 that i heard of from a different youtuber here on youtube her name is jessica braun so you can go

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

00:04:56.700 so that's what i'm going to do right now

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

00:06:35.580 into the oven and see what it tastes like

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 for you guys on camera and then he's going to take the rest to work for his colleagues so that is it

00:07:28.220 i hope you guys try this let me know in the comments what you think if you're not already
