Hi Kay,

I can't find any restaurant recipes, but I did find the recipe below. You make the brownies first, then batter and fry them.

Phaed

Use whatever brownie recipe you
have, or it can be done with almost any bar
cookie that has a fairly smooth surface.

Fried Brownies
3      eggs
3/4    cup milk or cream
big dash powdered sugar
dash   cinnamon
dash   salt
6      medium size brownies

oil or butter spray

optional...ice cream, fresh fruit, nuts,
chocolate sauce or nothing at all (they
don't really need accessories)

mix the first 5 ingredients together and let
stand for a few minutes.  whip until frothy.
Heat the mean, lean grill or a large frying
pan on the stove to medium high heat.  Dip
the brownie one at a time in the batter, and
then place on the sprayed grill/pan.  Close
the grill, and let cook until the batter
drippings look cooked (flip the brownie over
after 2 minutes if you are doing it stove
top) pull off and eat.  these are crazy good.

  I have what I think is a new one. My boss says there is a recipe to 
  dip apples in that is made of cool whip,fruit flavored yogurt,and I 
  think vanilla pudding. She doesn't remember the flavor yogurt or the 
  amounts .Have you ever heard of it?

Hi Marsha,

See the recipes below from my database. You can aso make it with sour cream instead of cool whip for a little tang.

  Hey Unc-
  I was wondering if you could help me out.  My wife's been begging 
  for lemon bars, but she doesn't like the recipies we've found 
  because they're too heavy or rich.  She swears she saw a recipie for 
  lemon bars (or squares) in Cooking Light magazine, about a year or 
  so ago.  I've searched their archives, and yours, and can't find it 
  anywhere!  Think you can help me out?  Thanks!

Hi Dave,

I found two lemon bar/square recipes from "Cooking Light" magazine. They're the first two below. The third recipe isn't from cooking light, but it seemed to be a fairly simple, not overly-rich recipe, so I'm sending it as well.

  Add 1 cup flour to butter mixture, and beat at low speed until 
  well-blended. Press crust into an 8-inch square baking pan 
  coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes

  10 minutes or until light brown:
