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.

1. Definitely fudgy!
2. Un-iced.
3. Always go for a middle piece!
I love the chewy brownies with any type of nuts.
None frosted unless it is a cream cheese frosting.
I will fight someone for the edge.
1. chewy, longer to enjoy :)
2. yes, pure pleasure xoxoxo
3. edges, no calories!
Wow!! Oh how I love fudgey brownies and frosting is a must! Ganache if possible. =) I love the middle section of the brownie pan to avoid crunchy edges!
1. Chewy - maybe a little fudgey
2. Absolutely no frosting. If I want frosting on a chocolate baked good, I make Coca-Cola Cake.
3. Always edge brownies! I love my all edge brownie pan!
1.) fudgy
2.) light frosting
3.) the corner piece!
My favorite type of brownie.. and this may seem a little odd.. is the crispy.. creamy kind.. the one that is a little over done at the edges.. and the inside is a little too fudgy.. perhaps its because i am not a good baker that i get them to turn out this way.. but each pan is like 2 separate kinds of brownies.... i also.. love the frosted and unfrosted brownie.. if someone is giving me brownies.. i will not turn either down.. add some walnuts.. and i will follow you around like a puppy for a week. ( perhaps thats why no one makes me brownies with nuts..hmm...) and i love every brownie... edge.. middle.. crumb.. side.. dropped... frozen... dry... mmmm.... i <3 brownies.
1) Fudgey
2) Chocolate frosting please. The more chocolate, the merrier!
3) Both!
1-Chewy, like a long chocolate orgasm in your mouth
2-No frosting, just fudgy goodness
3-the edge, as in living life on...
1. Cake Brownies, although I will eat them all!
2. No frosting, but again I can't really say no to a brownie!
3. Edges, corners specifically.
1 chewy
2 yes
3 middle!
1) chewy
2) with frosting... of course
3) edge!!!!!!!
Thanks

1. Definately Fudgey! I like my brownies almost underdone.
2. No Frosting needed if the brownies are super-moist, the way I like them.
3. I like the middle, but they're all good!
Without a doubt, Fudgy.
Absolutely NO frosting.
The edge...to get a little crispy crunch with that fudge.
fudgy, frosted, middle!
1) Chewy Please!
2) Lots of chocolatey frosting..
3) and the edge for sure.....now that is a wee slice of heaven to me!

1. Always chewy. All the time!
2. Frosting makes everything better!
3. Edge, a bit of crunch never goes wrong!
What's your type of brownie: chewy, cakey, or fudgy? Chewy, please.
Frosting on brownies: yes or no? I believe frosting is only far sub-par brownies. It's a cover up!
Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: edge or middle? Middle.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I am torn between chewy and fudgy brownies.
I used to be against frosting on brownies but the Wilton Chocolate Fudge Icing is *perfect* for brownies!
I love the center brownies!
