Sharing is Caring! Mehmere's Brownies

I’m still struggling, but my purple sweater and green/white scarf are giving me a boost. As promised yesterday, I’m sharing one of the recipes from Mehmere’s Kitchen. She and I spent a lot of time there through the years and it was a really happy place for me.

I was looking in my email for a different brownie recipe so I could make some Slutty Brownies (which I do not understand still) this past weekend and I came across this one. (I was too lazy to go to the store for a box mix.) It was just a list of ingredients, a set of instructions and a bake temp and time.

Mehmere must have given it to me years ago and it has been in my email waiting for me to find it again. How fitting that I found it in time to share today.

She’d get a tickle that I turned it into one of my recipe art cards and it’s sized to print as a 5×7 if you’d like to do so.

This recipe is great. It’s just a basic brownie recipe with her little twist of bold rich flavor, but it’s so easy it makes the perfect base to make your own creation. Also it’s so very simple I (almost) always have everything on hand. If I want brownies, I can just whip them up, I don’t have to go to the store for them!

Things I remember adding to it:

• Coconut and Raspberry Jam
• Peanut butter chips
• M&Ms
• Dried apricots
• Chopped Andes Candy

Things I would like to add to it as I type this now:

• See above list
• Coffee flavor
• Carmel and pretzel pieces
• White Chocolate Chips
• Toffee and Cashews

There you have it. What would you use as Mix – ins? Let me know if you have any questions or problems seeing it.
