They're THAT Good

Today's post comes with a shout out to Kim in Seattle. You have improved the quality of my life and I thank you. For everyone else, let me pass along the favor:

It's a brownie. Possibly one of the best I have ever eaten. You too can have this brownie in your life. Well, not this exact one, but one very much like it. Here's how:

*

1. Mix a box of brownies (9x13 size) according to the package

*

2. Pour 1/2 the brownie batter into a 9x13 pan

*

3. Layer 3 huge "Symphony" bars on top of the batter

*

4. Smooth remaining batter over the candy bars and seal candy bars by making sure they are completely covered by the batter

*

5. Bake according to package instructions

*

Some helpful hints, the original recipe calls for the bars with toffee and almonds. I couldn't decide if I would like these or the plain bars better, so I used toffee with almonds on one side and plain on the other. I'm a bit of a puritan, so I ended up liking the plain side better. Also, if you are using a 9x13 pan with rounded corners you will not be able to fit all 3 of the candy bars whole. Trim one vertical (long-wise) row off one of the candy bars, then everything will fit.

These really are that good. Brigham could hardly contain himself as he waited for them to cool. "Could I please just have a little practice bite?" he asked. Seriously, give them a try. When they're done, you're gonna wanna kiss me full on the lips.

And now, the treadmill awaits...
