The Story:
Alright, there is nothing wrong with brownies from a box. That is honestly how I usually go, but admit my crazy cupcake kitchen I decided to make something simple and fabulous…a homemade brownie! I also used these brownies to make a few cupcakes, so stay tuned for my next few posts, they are sure to bring out the 6-year-old in us all!
