classic brownies

One of the things I like about having to run study halls twice a week, aside from the fact that it forces me to go to the library, is that I have a perfectly legitimate excuse to bake up a storm each week. I mean, you have to lure people to the library some how, and this early in the semester it can be a little hard. But that's where the brownies come in.

The tricky thing is to make something that everyone can enjoy, so I think I'll take this opportunity to master the classics. Last week it was the brownie.

I like brownies pretty much all the time, but I'll admit that the ideal brownie, for me, is chewy and chocolatey on the inside, with that sugary crisp crust on the top. The recipe for this brownie, which I swiped from Inside a Black Apple, had that sweet flavor that I love and the inside ran the delicate line between fudgy and cakey. When I pulled the foil off my plate, the aroma burst out, making my table smell like an old fashioned bakery. Definitely try them, they made the library experience so much more enjoyable.
