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's your type of brownie: CHEWY brownies for sure!!! With of course a hit of fudgey goodness :D
Frosting on brownies: No frosting, I like the crack thats made on top of brownies when they come out of the oven so no frosting for me. It ruins the crack
Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: Edge!!! Brownie crusts are the best. The chocolate crunch taste in the beginning then the soft, rich, fudgey taste when you get to the middle :D
Chewy, no, edge. :)
My ideal brownie would be chewy and fudgy! Nay to the frosting, and I always go for the middle :D

# What's your type of brownie: fudgy. yes please.
# Frosting on brownies: if you insist... i'm not turning down more sugar
# Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: it doesnt matter! i'm terrible at making decisions though, and an edge piece rewards me with a bit of crunch and a bit of softness so I usually go for an edge. and then a middle. and then a corner. etc.
