Oh gosh. Your brownies are so fudgy!!! I'm sure that it's melt in the mouth and hmmm...I love brownies. Yeap, near the emergency #, that's a REALLY good idea :P
ReplyDeleteI'm printing it right now, I think I will keep a copy of it in my wallet too, just in case:) Super fudgy brownies are the best! The cakey ones just should not be legal, in my laws anyway! Believe it or not, cake is not my "go-to" dessert, unless it's saturated and dripping with something gooey:) I'm a pie girl, or a gooey girl..or a kitchen sink girl..heehee:)
ReplyDeleteYour brownies make my mouth water. They look very fudgy indeed! Must make brownies now.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are enough to make anyone drool, and 6 ingredients?! I'll definitely be making these next time I need a quick brownie fix.
ReplyDeleteThese ARE fudgeeeee Gabrielle. Because they are made with cocoa and not chocolate, they aren't as cloying (not that there's anything wrong with that) :)
ReplyDeleteHey Leah. Yes... a copy in your wallet... and car too, as part of a detailed emergency plan.
ReplyDeleteI agree, brownies are not cake. Any cake masquerading as a brownie will not be tolerated on this blog :) It's goooo all they way... say it sister.
Hey Sarah. Thanks for your comment. Sounds like you need a brownie fix right NOW. Quick, grab your supplies, this is an emergency :P
ReplyDeleteHey Rachel. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Yes, only six ingredients to save yourself from a brownie-less situation.
ReplyDeleteHi I have just made these brownies I was wondering if I can freeze them when they have cooled?
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe. Yes, yes, yes. They freeze beautifully. I actually froze some of these too... Though we were thawing them out just as they had frozen hehe! I hope you like them.
