Best. Brownies. Ever.

Symphony Brownies 

I'm not kidding.  I made these brownies for a girls' night with my friends last Friday and they are seriously the best brownies that I have ever had.  Haley, Kim, and Erin were pretty smitten with them, too.  I won't tell you how many we ate.  Jason tried them and thought they were a tad too rich {ridiculous} and wasn't crazy about the toffee crunch in the middle {what a fool}.  These brownies are rich, but also gooey and absolutely delicious.  I will definitely make these again and again :)


I got the recipe from one of the food blogs I follow, My Baking Addiction.  Click here for the recipe.  {A few notes: I used parchment paper instead of foil, Ghirardelli unsweetened baking chocolate, and baked them for only 30 minutes.}  You should really try them with the Symphony bars, but if you don't like almonds or toffee, or a crunch in your brownie isn't for you, you can use plain Hershey milk chocolate bars instead.


Other highlights of my weekend included:
1) beautiful weather!!
2) visiting with my friends at Miller Outdoor Theater on Friday
3) lunch with Harper and my good friend Allison on Saturday at Black Walnut Cafe {where I had the best salad ever... must go back soon}
4) going to see The Hunger Games on Sunday with my friend Kim and her daughter {loved the books and loved the movie!}


Jason's big race is this weekend.  This is his {and team Deadweight's} fourth year to run it.  Say a little prayer for his team.  It's going to be a hot one this year!
