Did you know that it’s National Baking Month? Kind of seems odd that it comes after all the holidays, but if you’re focusing on your health this month we can all use a little indulgence every now and then.
When you splurge, try these Better Than Boxed Brownies. I shared this recipe for WKYT this morning in Lexington. I was a bit hesitant to try them because I was afraid they wouldn’t compare to boxed brownies but…. OH MY GAWWWWWD was I wrong.
These are 10 times better than boxed brownies!! These brownies are super easy to make this upcoming weekend or just for a slight splurge on your otherwise healthy January journey.
