Making brownies is one of my favorite things to do. I've made the same recipe so many times and have, in my opinion, perfected it. One evening, I got the idea to make a cookbook just about brownies. But, how do you fill a cookbook with brownie recipes?
What follows is a 20-minute brainstorm of recipes that I'd like to develop to include in the book. Clearly, some of these would end up tasting far more horrible than I'm imagining, but that's half the fun.
You are, of course, free to use this list for your own creative purposes.
