Happy Brownies and Sundae Toppings


Okay, raise your hand if you're a brownie or bar cookie lover.  Me too.  But really raise your hand if you try and go out of your way to avoid edge pieces.  (See my hand waving enthusiastically in the air?)

I admit it:  if I am at an event with brownies, I slowly scope out the plate before choosing one without an edge.  Edges are hard and can be dry and crumbly, while the inner pieces are chewy-ooey good.

Here's a simple tip for a plate full of edge-less brownies.  First, cut them like so:


Remove the edge pieces, cutting each rectangle in half to make mini-squares.  Freeze the squares, keep the brownies to serve with pride:



After you are done enjoying your brownies, use the brownie edge mini-squares as a perfect topping for a sundae or ice cream treat.  The edge pieces hold up well to the ice cream, and are a fun extra for your little sweet pea:


See that?  Your bowl of ice cream just went from "thanks mom!" to "Wow, thanks mom, can I fold the laundry for you?"*

Life is sweet,

*Results not guaranteed.  But one can dream, right?

That is a GREAT idea!
I too love the middle gooey pieces. I also love brownie sundaes. This is perfect for those of us who hate to waste food.

Or, just marry someone who likes the edge pieces, like I did! :)

I LOVE the corners!!!! Corners of brownies, corners of square frozen thin crust pizzas, corners of PB&J....I love corners! Those corners & edges in the ice cream are delightful to me!!!
