This review is from: Brownie Points: Over 100 Outrageously Delicious and Easy Variations on North America's Favorite Dessert (Paperback)

I am in chocolate heaven everytime I open this book. The recipes are simply the best, chocolatiest, fudgiest, gooeiest I have ever tried. Even her recipe for cocoa brownies are moist and fudgy whereas usually cocoa brownies turn out dry and chewy.

I am working my way through this book and so far everything I made have been winners. This book has everything from classic fudge brownies to touches of unconventional flavors like balsamic vinegar, lemongrass and ginger. Having said that, I'm not an adventurous baker so I would probably give such recipes a miss. Still this is a book I use all the time and it hasn't disappointed me yet. And probably never will.

This book is fabulous! I have tried a number of the recipes and they are all wonderful. The author has fun notes with each recipe as well suggestions to make the brownie treat fancy enough for a dinner party dessert. Every time I make one of these brownies, everyone wants the recipe. Great book to give as a hostess gift.
