I made brownies.  I'm gonna eat, like, 600.

That is all.

I approve of this thread. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up (ten points if you can name that movie).

I'm guessing Hercules.

Hades says something like that, I think.

Are they Ghiardelli brownies, though?

Mah, MIL dropped off a bunch of stuff she bought and decided she wouldn't eat.  I think they're, like, Duncan Hines or something.

Still, tho, brownies.

Well, it's official. I'm making brownies. Big ole tray of brownies.

Here's a thought. Do they count as Ghiardelli brownies if they're made from Ghiardelli chocolate, but not from their box? LMK

Brownies sound good! DD prepped pumpkin french toast for the morning. Pumpkin has invaded my home. It's like a zombie outbreak only worse.

Easy brownies that don't require fancy equipment are arguably the best kind.

I make it in 1 sauce pan and I usually always have the ingredients on hand. Woot.

Dude, pie crust no way. Anyone who makes that from scratch is a baking god.

Pie crusts is the only thing I like to make from scratch. I'm making all the pies today for Thanksgiving.

How do you get it not to taste like cardboard 50% of the time?

If you use a food processor, you can use all butter and still get a super flaky crust, plus it's harder to overwork the dough, because it comes together so fast.

I have a brownie baking pan the comes with the grid so every brownie has a crispy chewy edge. I've never made them from scratch, now I have to try it. I do make a freaking killer chocolate, white chocolate chip, chocolate chunk cookie that's to die for.

PS I'd take box cake over scratch cake any day.

I prefer box brownie to scratch brownies most of the time, unless they're salted caramel layered brownies that I make, and those are the bomb.

You want to know the trick for anything that requires you to cut in butter? Throw the butter in the freezer, grate it using a cheese grater, and then throw back in the fridge. So much easier and things turn out great!

This is the best thing ever for making biscuits.

I wish I'd known this yesterday!  We made buttermilk biscuits but they turned out badly.  Well, I mean, they tasted good and were fluffy but the batter didn't come together quite right and was too mushy to cut biscuits out of.  We ended up glopping spoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet and baking them that way.  They were fug.  I ate, like, four of them.
