Brownie Points: a Simply Divine Brownies Giveaway!

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.

So how do you enter? It's easy. Just answer the following important brownie questions below in the comments section and you'll be entered to win this sweet package of postal bliss! Of course, if you couldn't possibly wait for brownie bliss, you can mos' def check them out online here and check out their blog here!

fudgy, NO, middle!

Mmmmm.

[Jane]

I like a nice chewy brownie.

Frosting on brownies, no. (But ganache on brownies, oh yeah!!)

I think I'm more of a middle of the brownie gal.

[Katie]

1) fudgy
2) I'll take frosting, if it's really good. Otherwise, I like it plain.
3) I prefer the middle.

[Erika - In Erika's Kitchen]

1. I'm a chewy brownie girl.

2. NO to frosting. I'm a purist.

3. Edges!

[Gina]

Definitely a chewy edge piece. But, depending on my mood, frosting or no frosting is a toss-up. Okay...If I have to commit...no frosting.

[Marsha]

CHEWY - NO FROSTING - MIDDLE

gotta go with the fudgy-chewy mix. especially if chocolate chunks are involved.

i can take or leave the frosting; they're good either way. but if i'm taking the frosting, then there should be sprinkles on top!

[Carol]

I love chewy brownies from the center of the pan but would never turn down cake-like brownies from the edges! Frosted with a peanut butter or mint frosting would make them devine!

[Marisah]

Cakey brownie for sure, from the middle with a ton of frosting!

[Hattie]

1. I am IN LOVE with brownies, it's mean to discriminate between them (they will start crying if you eat only chewy or cake) so all of them chewy, fudge, cake!
2. Plain it's a brownie not a cupcake.
3. I'm a corner person, but will be happy to eat all or any parts. =)
