Now I haven’t made brownies since I was a child – before the whole scare about eating raw eggs happened I would sneak tastes from the wooden spoon or dip my finger into the mixing bowl and smile happily at the delicious mixture.
Ah, memories.
But I digress, which is something I do a lot so bear with me.
Unless you count packet mixes, which after this recipe I know I certainly won’t; then brownies were a distant memory that brought me back to weekends spent in the warmth of the family kitchen eagerly waiting for whatever goodies were in the oven to come out to a squeak of glee that the recipe had worked.
These brownies evoked much the same reaction when I made them yesterday. The recipe is not at all the way I remembered making these deliciously squishy squares of chocolaty goodness and there was a point where I wondered if it would turn out at all like a brownie but I persevered and I am very glad I did as this was the result:
It took me all of my willpower to not eat these babies right out of the oven. Yum.
