Hey, y'all! I have to admit it... I'm not much of a baker. It isn't necessarily that I can't bake, it's just that I don't. I wasn't blessed with a sweet tooth like many of y'all. While I'm confessing things... I'm the first person to toss a box of brownies in my shopping cart or buy them premade from the bakery when I'm asked to bring a dessert to a function.
After I made my first batch of homemade brownies, I vowed that I would never go back to the box mix again. I was so surprised by how ridiculously easy it is to make brownies from scratch!
