I made brownies for some friends today, and I gotta say they turned out pretty darn well....to die for even. The brownies are nice and moist. The frosting deliciously creamy....MmmMmM
My husband started off licking the bowl and utensils...then he was eye-ing the brownies when it was completed. He thoroughly enjoyed them...all 4 squares...
