Today was brownies making day because everyone needs a good brownie in there life.
Brownies are always a good thing to bake as eating them while they are still slightly warm is the best part. I love making brownies and have made so many different types over the years that this blog has been running.
These were for a tea and cake party we were having at my job at the time as it was the weekend of the Royal Wedding.
While making these I did wear a mask and gloves because of the fact that I wanted to take these and give to people outside of my household.
The smell of brownies makes me want to float down the stairs like they do in movies because it such a good smell.
I won’t lie I did end up putting this back in the oven once I had cut them because I was convinced they were still not quite cooked. They went back in for about 7 minutes.
