Baker Street

Is it strange that I feel compelled to try out every brownie recipe  that comes my way? Not that I actually end up trying every recipe, it’s just that I lose sleep over those I don’t end up baking. Mostly though, I don’t hold back, don’t resist. Today I share with you such a recipe, one that formed itself in the words that described it and I couldn’t wait to try it.

The first time I made these, they never made it out of my kitchen. It was a small batch and by the time I considered pointing a camera at it, it was too late.

The first time I made it, I thought the shortbread layer was too thin so I used 1 1/2 times the ingredients in the recipe this time to achieve a slightly thicker crust. The brownie layer is dense and gooey and compliments the buttery crust perfectly. Other than that I’d make no change to this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens.

So here is the ultimate combination: a classic shortbread crust with a rich and gooey brownie layer on top.

Today’s theme for #SundaySupper centers around the ultimate party food menu for game day. Here are some ideas from the #SundaySupper team for Superbowl:
