I’ve gotten in a bad habit of using box mix brownies. It really hurts me to admit it. This week I said no more! I whipped out my cocoa powder and made a pan of Fudgy Brownies. Some people like brownies that almost have the texture of cake, not me. I like the thick, fudgy, tender brownie that sticks to your ribs. These brownies were perfect! I highly suggest making them as soon as possible.
Did you know that wheat used to make flour is planted in the fall and harvested in the spring?
