Great Brownie Recipe from Tin Roof Teas

This recipe was borrowed from Paula Deen with a few minor changes. You know almost any recipe she uses is going to be calorie rich. I must warn you...if you have a chocolate addiction, whip it up when you can exercise for a few hours to work off the calories. You can't just eat one piece. Purchase your favorite brownie mix. I used a dark chocolate walnut mix. You can choose whether you like the cake-like or the chewy kind...I did the chewy kind. After mixing, I spread half in the bottom of the pan and placed two whole Vosges Chocolate Bacon Bars on top. I topped the bars with the rest of the mix. It is a little difficult to spread because the brownie mix is so thick but you can place one finger on top of the bars to keep them in place. Don't worry if it is not level. When the mix begins to cook, it will spread...just be sure you cover the bars of Vosges Chocolate Bacon.

It is hard to wait for the brownies to cool but I am warning you, the hot candy will be gooey and it will burn you. Where can you buy Vosges Chocolate Bacon Bars? You can buy them along with several other choices from Tin Roof Teas in Cameron Village.

Changes Begin at Tin Roof Teas in Cameron Village!!

This week, there is an air of excitement in the shop. New products are arriving and the remodeling is beginning. The sign company is working hard and we hope to have the new sign installed by the end of the week. Employees have kept a list of customer requested teas, and we have searched for the very best teas in those categories.

Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the new children's tea sets. We searched and searched for a set that would be food safe and beautiful. They will make beautiful heirloom toys and they are affordable. Don't forget we carry a nice selection of teas appropriate for children...ask one of our consultants about them. If you have someone on your holiday list who loves whimsical gifts, we slipped in an order for some beautiful and unique teapots by a world renown English artist.

Please be patient as we expand our store to accommodate our new product lines.

Disappearing Teas

We were so diappointed today when the store tried to place an order for Chocolate Chile Black Tea and Miraculous Tea Maker from TeaGschwendner. The warehouse informed us that both items are being discontinued so what we have in stock is all that is available. We are looking for a new supplier for the Miraculous Tea Maker.

Great News for Our Valued Customers!

We are absolutely thrilled to notify everyone of the new changes you will be seeing over the next 4-6 weeks. Tin Roof Teas is now an independent tea shop which means expanded quality product lines for our customers. Same employees, same address, same owners, and same great service will continue. We will continue to stock TeaGscwendner teas but we are expanding our lines to include other customer requested fine teas. Our accessory line will expand and so will our edible products. We will be doing some minor remodeling to accomodate these changes. The staff is working on a new website for tea lovers who wish to order online.
