Welcome to the Quest!

As a child, my mom typically made brownies from scratch.  She had a tried and true recipe that she always used that resulted in a cake-like chocolate treat.

Exposure to brownies made from a box mix introduced me to brownies with a more fudge-like consistency.  Since that time, I have desired to find a made-from-scratch recipe that more closely resembles the box mix. 

It would be simplest to just stick to the box mix brownie, but I prefer to make my treats from scratch.  Also, I do not always keep box mixes in my pantry, so I would like to find a great go-to recipe that I can make with the products I have on hand when the mood for a brownie treat hits.

Each week I plan to
  • try a new brownie recipe
  • follow each recipe exactly as they are written
  • critique each recipe

Don't be surprised if during the week I include some other new recipes and look at other baking related issued.  Please keep in mind that I am an amateur baker, so I hope to find recipes that the average baker can handle.  Who knows, perhaps my baking skills will increase with all this practice.

Please join me as I seek to create a list of great brownie recipes!
