When it comes to brownies, you never know what to expect. There are infinite ways to make a brownie and just as many possible results. They can be chewy or gooey or flaky or cakey, rich and chocolatey or if you’re really lucky, all of the above.
If you’re like me, you prefer a flaky top, a gooey middle, chewy corners (the corners are the best part!) and most importantly, the most rich and delicious chocolate flavor you can imagine. And if you’re like me, then I’ve got a recipe for you:

I just love this time of month when we get to hear from all of our favorite food bloggers! This month’s Monthly Mouthful may have crept up on us, but it’s full of all sorts of quality answers!
In honor of Valentine’s Day, we asked:
“What’s the sexiest, most sensual food you’ve ever tasted?”
With a question like that, you know you’re in for a treat! So read on, dear readers, read on.

Our second year as bloggers started off with a homemade cake - not surprisingly a birthday cake
but nonetheless it was homemade. And as you know, Maxine made the cake, and I, just idly watched, read about, and tasted the fruits of her labor (which were absolutely delicious by the way).
But my point is: I don’t cook enough. I admit it. I don’t cook or bake or saute enough and now I’m here to tell you that for our blog’s second year in life, I plan to turn that all around. Now, I don’t want to call this a New Years resolution because no one has any hope for New Years resolutions and the last thing I want is for you to expect failure.
From now on, I plan to test recipes, recipes, and more recipes.
And what do you know? I just so happen to have one for you today. Last night I cooked up a miniature storm of sorts, so I actually have two recipes to review but I’ll save the other for tomorrow.

What’s the best present you can give a food blog on its birthday? CAKE! In honor of our blog’s first birthday, I decided to bake my first cake. Well, I’ve baked cakes before, but this was my first one from scratch. I’m usually a cookie girl when it comes to baking, but maybe I’ve been watching too much Barefoot Contessa since Ina makes it look so easy. I should have known better.

Let me just start off by saying that I was never really a huge chocolate person. I like chocolate, don’t get me wrong, but I was never one to rave over a simple piece of chocolate, and when it comes down to a choice between chocolate or vanilla ice cream, I almost always choose vanilla. Of course there are chocolate bars I like and I will eat, but pure chocolate was never really my thing.

There’s nothing like the holidays! I swear, we don’t hold anything back. It isn’t enough to have caramel popcorn. No of course not…we need to add crushed up peppermints to our caramel popcorn…and then! THEN! We need to drizzle it with dark chocolate.
Thank youuu Trader Joe’s!
I’m serious, thank you. It was delicious.
And if you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s and want to join in on the holiday gluttony, perhaps you can be inspired and make your own with these recipes:
Caramel Popcorn Kit in a Jar (great gift!), Cinnamon Popcorn, Lemon Meringue Popcorn, Honey and Spice Popcorn, Pina Colada Popcorn Crunch, OR Swirled Popcorn Mix,
