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!

1. Most definitely chewy. It makes me feel like I might be burning a few calories as I eat it.
2. NO! Frosting is for cakes and cookies and other baked goods. Brownies have that crispy, slightly flaky melt in your mouth quality.
3. Edge. (I have nothing snarky to say to those middle people)

[htrav!]

fudgy, no frosting, from the edge...preferably the CORNER.

[Polly]

1. Fudgy brownie
2. No frosting
3. I like the edges, maybe because my family always gets the middle!

[McKelly]

Chewy. Frosting? Usually no unless it is AMAZING. I like both ends/middle for different textures. I like brownies so much, I opted for a brownie wedding cake!

[Tracey]

1. fudgy for me!
2. no frosting....it takes away from the delicious brownie taste!
3. the middle!
