brownies for the chocolat lover

for those who love brownies, these fellers from alice medrich's bittersweet will leave you in a dreamy state of mind. the aromatic play of chocolate, butter, eggs and sugar dances about the kitchen as it bakes in the oven and mind you, from my room i can smell the delicious whiffs of them. i gave in to my heart's desire and added a handful of finely chopped pur caraibe valrhona dark chocolate for that extra flavour.

compared to some other brownies where cream frosting or nuts are added, i decided to give these some simple dusting of confectioner's sugar. the paper i bought from prints add a nice backdrop for these dark brown squares and indeed the hues of blue and shades of pink brings out the colour and richness of the brownies.
