Thank You Gift: Brownies!

I love brownies. They are my special secret indulgence. Mr. March often comes home from his classes with brownies that his students have made as a special Thank You.

This means that I get to sample brownies from a lot of different chefs. Mr. March has some excellent brownie chefs studying Karate with him. But as good as their brownies often are...I still think mine are the best.

I'm going to share my favorite brownie recipe with you. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.
