Brownie Points: a Simply Divine Brownies Giveaway!
Friday, February 12, 2010 
Brownies are a masterpiece of American cookery. This is not opinion--it's fact. They are--to sum it up concisely--a simply divine treat.
Oh--what a perfect time to introduce the treasure of Portland, Maine--Simply Divine Brownies. They boast a retail bake shop, and will ship their brownies nationwide.
And oh, the brownies. At Casa de CakeSpy, we'd been mildly obsessed with these brownies since having discovered the adorable brownies that look like cupcakes, with the other items on the menu--like dense, chewy brownies in a plethora of flavors and sizes--just adding to the obsession.
And now, dear, lucky readers, you too can share this sweet joy.
Yup: Simply Divine has kindly offered a brownie care package for giveaway on this site.
What can you win? A parcel of pure pleasure, including a sampler of 12 assorted brownie flavors, a package of sweet brownie bites (perfect for smaller appetites, or, you know, eating 3 at a time), and one of those adorable aforementioned trompe l'oeil brownies. Not for nothin', but based on my calculations this is a parcel worth over $75, considering shipping and stuff.
Yeah, you wanna win this.
So how do you enter? It's easy. Just answer the following important brownie questions below in the comments section and you'll be entered to win this sweet package of postal bliss! Of course, if you couldn't possibly wait for brownie bliss, you can mos' def check them out online here and check out their blog here!

1. all of the above
2. no!
3. no preference
1. All of the above!
2. Yes! But not required.
3. Middle
1. Chewy. The gummier the better.
2. No frosting. I can eat one, but it usually makes it way too sweet.
3. Give me the corner, or all the edges you cut off!
1. Chewy for sure!
2. No thanks.
3. Edge all the way...
1. Chewy
2. Peppermint frosting please
3. It's ALL good!
1. What's your type of brownie: chewy, cakey, or fudgy?
Absolutely chewy! That texture is the best for so many pastries...
2. Frosting on brownies: yes or no?
Maybe a little swivel of cream cheese frosting on the top. :D Otherwise, no thanks!
3. Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: edge or middle?
Edge... A little crispy on the outside but sooo chewy.
1. Chewy
2. It depends
3. Middle!
Definitely a chewy brownie from the middle of the pan, no frosting. So much yum!
1. fudgy! yummmm.
2. frosting? Well, if they're cakey brownies, then I vote yes for frosting. If they're anything other than cakey, I think frosting might be taking it a bit too far.
3. I think the edges are nice, as long as they haven't been cut much smaller than the middle pieces. It's tough to have good manners and only take the small pieces when what you really want are the large, soft and gooey pieces in the middle.
1. chewy!
2. no frosting, just a crisp top.
3. the middle where it's moist :)
1.What's your type of brownie: chewy, cakey, or fudgy? Chewy delicious!

Edges all the way!
1. chewy

3. edge
Chewy brownies from the edge with no frosting please! Though I really haven't met a dessert I didn't like, so if I win, I'd be a happy girl!

1. Chewy or fudgy.
2. Never!
3. Middle.
1. I like a chewy and fudgy brownie (although it's probably cheating to pick two!)
2. No frosting
3. Edge pieces are the best, but I'll take what I can get!
Def a fudgy, no frosting, middle brownie girl. And they are best with semi sweet choc chips mixed in and warm right out of the oven.

Dear Brownie Pixie,
I LOVE the chewy ones, the unfrosted ones, the nutt-less ones, the uncomplicated ones, the COLD ones, the middle ones.
