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.

1. Fudgy, 2. No frosting the brownie should stand alone in all it's yumminess. 3. I love the middle because you get all the fudgy goodness.
A delightful trio of questions, to which my answers are (1) fudgy, (2) sans frosting (though a ganache wouldn't hurt), (3) middle.
Fudgy brownies are amazing!
Ice those suckers with a sweet fudgy topping...or cream cheese.
And middle pieces only...I'm not big on the edges!
1. What's your type of brownie: chewy, cakey, or fudgy?
Fudgy for sure. YUM!
2. Frosting on brownies: yes or no?
On plain brownies, no. On cream cheese swirl brownies, yes please!
3. Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: edge or middle?
I like the middle the best.
1. Fudgy brownies!
2. With frosting or any type of topping really; nuts, powdered sugar, another brownie stacked on top of the brownie.
3. Edge piece for sure!
Reading this article made my mouth water! I just got back on weight watchers and could SERIOUSLY use an indulgent treat!
I've never seen your blog until today but boy, you get straight to the questions nearest to my heart! Chewy. Not necessary but awfully nice. Edge. Luckily I married a guy who likes the one in the middle.
1.Definitely fudgy!
2. Brownies should taste good on their own: so, no frosting
3. The middle part is the best (mmm gooey centers).
1. fudgy! and a little bit gooey!
2. no frosting.
3. the middle- where the best fudgy gooey goodness is!!
Chewy, no frosting, and from the middle!
:) You should definitely look into the amazing brownie pans that they show on info-mercials all the time. I hear they're fantastic!
1) Cakey, with a bit of chewiness on the outside.
2) Nope.
3) Middle.
1. Chewy or Fudgy.
2. No frosting.
3. From the very middle. :)
1: Chew(bacca)y. May my teeth gum together and every dentist in a ten-mile radius shed a tear.
2: I have no preference. Frosting on the brownie, naked brownie, or frosting and brownie separately? Really depends on my mood - if I want something unsullied by the bright sugar notes of frosting, or if I want something embellished with a kick of sweet.
3: Generally the middle pieces, because those tend to get cut larger.
all about fudgey, frosted, in the middle goodness~!!! *drools* yay for brownies~!! ^o^
1.- Cakey a must
2.- Sometimes frosted
3.- Always the edge!
What's your type of brownie: chewy, cakey, or fudgy? Chewy & Fudgy
Frosting on brownies: yes or no? Either way!
Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: edge or middle? The Edge!!
