My sister makes excellent brownies. Sometimes she goes for the chewy, fudgy kind, and on Thanksgiving she made the thick cake-like brownies that are just as good, just different.

Today is National Chocolate Brownie Day, and since it's the holiday season it gives you yet another reason to spend the day (or night, after Christmas shopping) making a great treat that will make us all gain weight and declare a New Year's Resolution to "really eat better in 2008!" Here's a recipe for Very Chocolate Brownies from AllRecipes.com, and here's one for Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies from Libby's. And don't forget this recipe for Quadruple Chocolate Brownies I posted a couple of months ago.
