Simplicity

I've been sitting here talking about all these wonderful and complex desserts and I have yet to mention one of my favorite classics. I took a trip to Pennsylvania this weekend to visit my dad's family. As soon as my aunt found out I was coming she went to the store to buy the ingredients to make me some brownies.

(brownies how I like them)

There is something so classic about a brownie that makes it so delicious. I feel like whenever someone is choosing a dessert off a table, they usually can't go wrong with picking the brownie. Of course there are those cases where the brownie is burnt or too fluffy, however in most situation the brownie is always the safe choice.

My aunt made them just how I like them most; undercooked, but not to the point where they were just fudge, and covered with chocolate frosting. One of the best things about brownies though, is that the can be cooked to anyone's preference. They can be undercooked so they are more fudge like. Or they can be over cooked so they are fluffier and have crispy edges. Anyone's desire can be satisfied.

On a side note, I found out today that most people who don't live in Maine don't know what No Bake Cookies are. I found that very interesting.
