Williams Sonoma Triple Chocolate Brownies
 
Are you thinking, really ANOTHER brownie recipe? I thought I’d share this one with you because it’s such a great recipe for mailing to a loved one (service men and women, missionaries, students, etc). If you have ever tried to mail cookies (especially out of the country), no matter what you do, they never seem to make it all in one piece. Or if they do, they are just not quite as good as when they’re first made.

These are super chocolaty, dense brownies. Follow the recipe and do not over bake. This is the first key to keeping the treat fresh tasting. Make sure to line the pan with foil and grease the foil before spooning batter into the pan. When the brownies are out of the oven, let cool, and remove from pan (by lifting foil out of pan) in one piece, cut brownies, and wrap the whole slab in foil and then slide into a gallon sized Ziploc bag.

Squeeze out all of the excess air. Place in freezer, and freeze overnight. When ready to mail, place in package with other items, on bottom of package if possible, with other items stacked on top, so brownies remain flat and in one slab in box. Mail the same day.
What better Valentines gift than a box from home filled with home made brownies?? Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than this.
