I’m about to get back on my torch and make more “raku” glass beads. They are one of my best sellers and the color range that comes from this rod of glass is awesome. So I went looking around the internets looking for information to share with all of you about this glass and found some from none other than Lori Greenberg, the former Glass Arts Editor over here at Craft Gossip. So check out what she says about it…and then check out what Dawn Scannel says over at Lampwork etc…I personally think it’s best when it has been frosted with etching solution, but that’s just me…and most of my customers that buy these little beauties. I do know this about “raku” glass, it’s got silver in it and that’s what helps to make the magic happen. Playing with Bullseye’s french vanilla and silver foil you can get some of the same colors coming out. So it appears a bit of sulphur and a bit of silver and ta da…magic. Who knew chemistry could be so much fun!

Caramel Stuffed Brownies
These caramel brownies are to die for!
If you’re a chocolate lover, these caramel brownies are a must-try. They are the perfect combination of rich, fudgy chocolate and smooth, creamy caramel, making for a decadent and indulgent treat. And the best part? The recipe starts with a cake mix base, so it’s incredibly easy to make.
To start, you’ll need a box of chocolate cake mix
, along with some eggs, oil, and water to prepare the batter. Once the batter is mixed up, half of it is spread into the bottom of a baking dish. A layer of creamy caramel is then added on top of the batter, followed by the remaining batter. The brownies are baked until they are perfectly gooey and chocolatey, with just the right amount of caramel oozing out of the center.
The result is a dessert that is sure to impress. The rich chocolate base is the perfect complement to the sweet caramel filling, and the texture is just right – fudgy and dense, but not too heavy. These brownies are perfect for a special occasion or just as a treat to indulge in on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
