I love brownies.
They are by far one of my most favorite baked goods. They surpass even pie in terms of my most crave-able sweet.
Brownies are this perfectly simple, homey treat that are oh so satisfying. They are reminiscent of bake sales and warm kitchens. There is just something magical about them.
Brownies were actually one of the very first thing I baked from scratch. Back when I was younger, maybe in junior high or high school, I had a hankering for brownies and my parents didn't have a mix in the pantry. So I pulled out my family's go to cookbook, Fanny Farmer, and turned to the brownie recipe. We luckily had all the ingredients I needed, even unsweetened chocolate. So I went about baking them. As I remember it, they were the most perfect brownies, so much better than any box mix I'd ever had.
