How to Make Brownies to Die For: Tuxedo Brownies that are Out of This World Good
Who doesn’t love a good brownie? (God bless them whoever they are!) One of my very favorite brownies is this recipe for Tuxedo Brownies. Chocolate and raspberry is one of the great combinations of flavors, in my opinion. The brownies start out with a boxed brownie mix but by the time you have them completed, no one would ever guess you started with a boxed mix. By the time you get the chocolate, white chocolate, cream cheese, raspberry jam, fresh raspberries
and the other ingredients put together you will have an out of this world delicious brownie.

Jack Smatt the Legend
Port Royal’s history is intertwined with the adventures and exploits of the legendary pirate, Black Jack Smatt.

Smatt first came to Port Royal as a merchant trader to take advantage of the booming trade between Europe and the New World. As time went by, Black Jack grew restless with his conventional lifestyle and stepped into the more lucrative occupation of piracy.
In the period of early 1600s, Port Royal’s reeling populace was deep sunk in anarchy and loose morals. The population consisted of cutthroats, harlots and pirates and was the preferred haven for the British and European backed privateers.

He grew and flourished as a successful pirate and made many successful looting operations at sea.
