Brownies

I have attempted brownies from scratch COUNTLESS times....never once having them turn out perfectly.

A few years ago, I made the mistake of trying a new recipe and taking the end result to a friend's house (who had invited multiple couples over). 

Now, I doubt that they remember me as "the gal who makes HORRIBLE brownies."

Unfortunately, I remember. 

They stuck. 

They crumbled.

They were barely edible.

I did muster up my baking pride to try another recipe.....again failing.

You know it is bad when Lucas turns chocolate down.

So shopping the other day, Richard was overjoyed at the jackpot we encountered.

Brownies for $0.50! 

Yes, as modeled by the lovely Meredith, I realize that they are Halloween Brownies. 

I certainly don't care. 

I was just helping the bad economy. 

We walked out with TEN boxes of Halloween brownies.

(I know you are thinking this is quite excessive, but a box of brownies is like $2.00 MSRP.

The "sell by" date is well beyond when we will eat them).

Richard insisted that I pose with my saving grace....the boxed brownie.

Thank you Big Lots, you never let me down!
