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.

Frosting on brownies: yes or no? NO, it detracts from the brownie flavor but powdered sugar is nice. :)
Which brownies in the pan do you covet most: edge or middle? either - seriously it's a brownie! :)

2. Alitte frosty never hurt anyone!
3. The corner ones are the best!!
1. Chewy. Love a dense brownie.
2. No frosting unless it it's creamy and is not the same flavor as the brownie (No choco on choco)
3. Edges, edges edges.
Deliciousness!
1)We are definitely fudgy lovers.
2)We love frosting but can't wait long enough to frost.
3)The edges have a texture you don't get in the middle.
1. CAKEY
2.YES
3.EDGE!!!!!

1. cakey
2. frosting if it isnt too too sweet
3. edge
1. Chewy and gooey
2. Closet confession: those store bought bakery ones with frosting are good.
3. Middle
1. fudgy please.
2. no frosting. i feel it makes them too sweet.
3. middle. i like the all surrounding softness =)
1. Fudgy!!
2. No frosting
3. Middle piece
1. CHEWY!
2. Frosting is not necessary, but if it's vanilla -- BRING. IT. ON.
3. Edges = crispy = perfection.
The chewiest, chewy brownies with no frosting (why add anything more to an already perfect treat?) , cut right out of the middle would make me a happier person!!
Fudgy-like a dark chocolate truffle fudgy
No icing please just the brownie with the fudgy middle
But of course the middle of the pan where all the fudginess lives !
1) Chewy
2) Yes, as long as it doesn't overwhelm the flavor and texture of the brownie!
3) Edges are a must!
1. Fudgy all the way
2. No icing, please
3. It depends on my mood. But really... who is going to turn down a brownie because it's not the edge or it's not a middle???
