The brown sugar is an interesting ingredient for brownies. (I love that first pic of the brownie on top of the glass of milk.) I am posting a coffee inspired brownie tomorrow. (Great minds…!)

Your photos are perfect, Veronica! And the brownie looks moist and delicious. I’ve never made her brownies. These look every bit as good (if not better) than my favorite old recipe!

Even though I didn’t blog about them, I actually made some of her brownies last night…very similar, but with raspberries. Yum! These look great
