Two friends eating and drinking their way through Glint –Book 2 of the Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy!

SPOILERS FOR BOOKS 1-5

Recipes for food and cocktails mentioned in this episode:

Special Dark Cocoa Powder Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cups (238g) granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup (78ml) vegetable oil (I have used Greek yogurt and butter as subs for oil, applesauce will also work!)
• ¼ cup (59ml) milk (or red wine!)
• 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (40g) natural unsweetened special dark cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cups (168g) dark chocolate chips, plus additional for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease an 8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the oil, milk and vanilla extract and beat together until well combined.
3. Next add the egg beat just until combined, about 30 seconds or so.
4. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle another handful of chocolate chips over top.
6. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into thecenter will be damp but not gooey or wet. Remove from the oven and allow to cool prior to cutting.

Wine/Cocktail Pairing: The Velvet Devil

Description: This red is lush, smoky, and just sharp enough to keep you on edge. It’s Midas’s condescension in a bottle. It’s Slade’s purring deception. It’s the drink you pour when a girl finds her spine and finally—finally—says no to the cage.

So pour yourself a glass of The Velvet Devil. Let it burn a little. Because this episode? It’s not soft. It’s not sweet. And it sure as hell isn’t safe.
