A hot and fast brisket with a flavorful spice rub that is smoked to perfection in just 4 hours is sure to please. This method makes the barbecue go faster and taste even better.

Ingredients: 1 whole brisket 12-14 pounds. 2 tablespoons kosher salt. 2 tablespoons black pepper. 2 tablespoons smoked paprika. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper. 1 cup beef broth. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce. Wood chunks for smoking oak or hickory.

Instructions: Preheat your smoker to 300F 150C. Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor. In a bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a rub. Apply the rub generously on both sides of the brisket, ensuring an even coating. Place the brisket on the preheated smoker grate and insert wood chunks for smoking. Combine beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a spray bottle for basting. Maintain the smoker temperature at 300F 150C and smoke the brisket for 2 hours, spraying with the liquid mixture every 30 minutes. After 2 hours, wrap the brisket tightly in foil and continue smoking for an additional 2 hours. Check the internal temperature of the brisket; it should reach 200-205F 93-96C for optimal tenderness. Once the brisket is done, let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve the hot and fast brisket slices with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Indulge in the delightful combination of chocolate and peanut butter with these baked donuts. They're moist, chocolatey, and topped with a creamy peanut butter glaze for an irresistible treat. Perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup cocoa powder. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1 large egg. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. 2-3 tablespoons milk. Sprinkles for decoration optional.

Instructions: Grease a donut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract should all be thoroughly mixed in a separate bowl. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, stirring just until combined. Take care not to blend too much. Add the tiny chocolate chips and fold. Pour the batter into each cavity of the greased donut pan, filling it to about two thirds full. When a toothpick is inserted into a donut, it should come out clean after baking for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven. The donuts should be taken out of the oven and allowed to cool in the pan for a few minutes before being transferred to a wire rack to finish cooling. Combine the milk, powdered sugar, and peanut butter in a small bowl and whisk until you have a smooth glaze. To get the glaze consistency you want, adjust the amount of milk. Let any excess peanut butter glaze drip off the cooled donuts as you dip them in it. If desired, garnish the glazed donuts with sprinkles. Before serving, let the glaze settle for a few minutes. Savor the flavor of your delicious peanut butter glaze-topped baked chocolate donuts!
