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.

3. middle pieces reign supreme. i'm happy to consume the perimeter, if topped with ice cream.

2. Frosting! Frosting always makes things better.
3. Middle. Or edge. Really all of the pan.
1. chewy
2. no frosting
3. middle only!
Chewy, most definitely
NO FROSTING - unless it's marshmallow-y.
If they're cooked right, I want the corner piece the most - if they're a little burned, just an edge, plz
fudgy
Frosting!
middle
1) Fudgy for sure!
2) Not a frosting guy.
3) Edges ROCK!

2. Yes! I love frosting on EVERYTHING.
3. Middle.
1.) Fudgy for sure.
2.) Frosting? Sure! The more the merrier!
3.) Always middle.
Fudgy with frosting and clearly from the middle!
1. fudgy
2. definitely frosting
3. mmm hard edges
Fudgy, but sometimes a little chewy, NO frosting, and from the middle :). Warm if possible!
Chewy/fudgy (not an option you offered, but it is the Holy Grail of brownie texture), no icing please, and any piece will do :)
Chewy, no frosting (usually), and from the middle.
My favorites are the moist and chewy ones. I'm not so much a frosting girl as someone who goes for mix-ins...And I like the ones that are just inside the edge but not quite the middle. I guess I want it both ways. : )
