They sound like great brownies but I can't see myself opening 60 caramels to make brownies.
no, it's not. a canned ingredient is a single ingredient, plus maybe some salt and other stuff that's there from processing.
a box mix is a nearly completed thing. you're just adding stuff to make them more brownie-like. the main part of this recipe was created by people in hair nets and smocks over giant tubs if ingredients.
please don't start the "creating the universe" arguement about original recipes. maybe this should be called pw's knock yourself naked from a box mix brownies.
i'm surprised that anyone has a problem with this being an original recipe since it begins with a box of cake mix.
that sort of kills the original recipe thing, no?
Where did Linguini go?
I don't see any place where Pioneer Woman claimed or implied it was her original recipe. That and as you stated about the package mix makes any controversy ridiculous.
Where did Linguini go? She never came back to defend her position. I have the feeling she is a secret agent of "Marlbor Woman"
She skulks through the back alleys of bakeries spraying graffiti against
I'm an intelligent individual who can smell a phony a mile away.
You've been quite harsh on MW who it seems, to me at least, is only trying to present a well-documented case for plagiarism. She/He has photos of the lifted recipes plus the cookbooks Drummond stole from. Plus there are 2 other websites: Pie Near Woman and The Pioneer Woman Sux who also have documented evidence of Ree's less-than-pioneer lifestyle.
What exactly does this mean? Is her husband not a rancher? Does her website not contain hundreds of pictures of her life, her nice home, her lodge with the dream kitchen, her expensive SUV? Please explain how she is misrepresenting her lifestyle. It's not like it is full of pictures of her and her kids in pioneer clothes, beating laundry on a rock..

Most people like the detailed step-by-step accompanied by pictures and PW does that well. As much as I know other people like that, I'm not one of them, but what I really like is that PW posts a summary recipe at the end for people like me who like recipes short and sweet. I like to look at the photo essay and then if I want to save the recipe to a local copy I cut 'n paste the final short version of the recipe. (And include the URL in my notes.) PW pays a lot of attention to detail and I like that. I like that she knows some people don't want to cook from a long version of the recipe, people like me.
