National Brownie Day
Indulge in a rich, chocolatey dessert, whether a mixed selection from the bakery, a tray bake rustled up at home or a brownie gathering with friends.
A pan of brownies can turn December 8 into the kind of gathering where everyone drifts toward the kitchen. For National Brownie Day, bake a batch from scratch or let a boxed mix do the heavy lifting. Fold in nuts or candy, spread frosting over the top, then cut the pan into squares for sharing. You could even set out a few different versions for a brownie tasting and settle the important question of corner piece versus chewy center.
