The Perfect Brownie Pie

Look, I love brownies.  It's no secret.  I actually announce it when I write on my personal blog or for the Huffington Post or if I give a speech. Why?  Well, brownies are yummy for one, but you know that.  But to me, brownies speak to the kid in each of us.  It's not formal like cake or too sugary like candy.  It is a classic American dessert made popular at the turn of the century by a woman named Fanny Farmer (who knew?) and there are so many varieties today, anyone can put their twist on it.   Mara Ossorio made this delicious version of brownie pie that looks, well good enough to eat!  I will be sharing some of my personal faves in the weeks to come but trust me, this one is a keeper. 

And, in case you forget (it's my handle and I'm stickin with it), I am a mother, wife, writer, brownie eater and founder The Perfect Provenance #smilemore,  Lisa Lori
