This recipe comes from www.mybakingaddiction.com. Take these to work and everyone who smells and tastes them will want to be your friend. Good Luck!
Brownies…they are one of those desserts I think I will continue to experiment with for the rest of my life. There are so many recipes and methods out there, so I have a hard time making the same one twice. HOWEVER, these brownies are so close to perfection that I made them three times last month…yep folks, you read that correctly three times in one month! As most of you know, chocolate does little for me, but there is something about the smell of brownies in the oven that settles my mind…a calming aromatherapy of sorts. I guess it’s a good thing that I don’t have to actually eat them to de-stress or I would be in BIG trouble, or shall I say my rear end would be in BIGGER trouble! The original recipe does not call for the addition of the frosting and I am sure they are just dandy without it, BUT I was told that it’s the frosting that makes these so delectable! So if ya had a long week, you’re in a funk, or you’re just plain cravin‘ something sweet, make these brownies…I am betting they will improve your mood! Have a great weekend, stay warm and thanks for stopping by!
