Why haven't I been told about Brownies?!

So today I made my first ever batch of Brownies. O... M... G... so so good!! Why has no one ever told me about these before? I mean I know they existed... but why has no one let me in on the secret of how heavenly they are??? Were you all keeping this information quiet for a reason?! I made them with the intention of cutting and freezing into portions but DH and I had a house meeting and decided maybe we'll just have them for dinner instead of curried sausages

They are pretty darn good aren't they - I'm not that much into chocolate cake, even mud cake, but there's something special about brownies. Hey, curried sausages are much nicer the day after they are made anyway

One of my all time favourite foods. Can't believe you never knew how good they are! I take them to people's houses for parties and BBQs and end up giving everyone the recipe

I have a brownie maker! Sooo easy. Quite a few aussies I know aren't into brownies, they say it's an 'american thing'. Meh, anything chocolate works for me!

I discovered the Donna Hay packet mix chocolate chunk. EVIL!! No they don't last to storage.

You obviously don't have enough fat friends (well fat friends who bake I guess). We ALL know about brownies!

Love it. We are a Brownie house hold, salted fudge chocolate are my favourite, kids like sprinkles, raspberries or white choc chips also rate highly. DS2 had a Brownie stack for his birthday cake, all piled up like a pyramid with lego men climbing the stack. huge hit, no icing, no knife.

Shamoo - You will have to get a Baker's Edge Brownie pan. All edges.
