Over the years, I have made so many brownies that I could have built a cute little brownie cottage complete with a picket fence and window boxes! Can't you just picture it? Chocolate Fudge Brownie shingles with PB Cup steps and a Marshmallow Fluff snow covered roof. Kind of like a gingerbread house
but made of brownies instead!
We used to make them in 12 X 18 inch sheet pans and then cut them into 24 squares. The restaurants we sold them to would order anywhere from 2-8 pans a week. They froze them and thawed them out as needed. In any given week, we could have orders for 30 pans of brownies or more. Let's do the math. 30 pans X 24 = 720 brownies! That's a lot of brownies! Multiply that by 15 years ~ more-or-less ~ and I can't believe we made that many brownies!
BROWNIES, BROWNIES & MORE BROWNIES!
The choices were endless. Chocolate Walnut Brownies, Cream Cheese Brownies, Chocolate Frosted Mint Brownies, Chocolate Chocolate Chip Brownies, Turtle Brownies, Snickers Brownies and the always popular Reese's Chocolate PB Cup Brownies. Every week the restaurants waited with anticipation to see what I would dream up next!
As a kid, I wasn't allowed to eat brownie batter. I got to lick the occasional bowl and spatula, but the rest was for the pan. After I was all grown up and owner of my own bakery, it dawned on me that I could do whatever I wanted. So, one day I decided it was high time for me to eat a whole batch of brownie batter. I sat in the corner on my stool and ate the entire bowl. It tasted so good going down. I felt like a kid again and even had some smudges on my face! You know the saying, "All good things must come to an end"? Well, it wasn't long before my tummy started to ache and I ran to the bathroom. I was so sick I wanted to die. That brownie bowl did double-duty that day! And to this day, I have never been tempted to do that again!

These look just too good. I see posts like this and immediately want to increase the amount of chocolate and peanut butter in my diet!
