My first response was dirt, but I knew that couldn't be it! Those brownies do look yummy. Brownies are in my top five favorite foods, so I know what you mean...

3 All three recipes look delicious! Hmmm, I have a chocolate craving now and I know what you mean about walking through the kitchen after baking anything. How can you resist sampling your "wares" just to make sure they are tasty!?
PS This series is really growing on me! I love it more each week and this week was "kind" of sneaky!

It is 3. It is not used often by me. The Mexican cupcakes are tempting me to bake. In the pic, the white background resembled frosting, LOL.

3 and I use for mocha frosting on my brownies.
Posted by: Todd | May 28, 2012 at 02:46 PM
It looks good if any of the three, but since everyone else is picking #3, I will too. Great recipes!
