Happy Pi Day!

It is Pi Day! That's pi, not pie - as in 3.14. Yes, I am a nerd.

I didn't realize it until this morning. Bummer. Apple pie sounds really good, but I made brownies yesterday. They have been calling my name. I wonder if I can pass tonight's quiche off as pie.

I am picky about my brownies. I love chocolate, but brownies and chocolate cake tend to be rather dry. I think that is why I like to middle of the brownies and can't stand the edges. The picture of these brownies definitely caught my eye. You had me at hello. (Name that movie.)

They looked so fudgy and were topped with chocolate ganache. I just had to try them. I have never made brownies from scratch and these were very simple! I used dark chocolate instead of unsweetened. Yum! I really need a kitchen scale because I guessing at the chocolate I was putting in there. (Unfortunately the pound plus bars at Trader Joe's don't seem to be divided into neat one ounce squares.)

The brownies turned out very tasty. They are dense and more fudge like, but I still stayed away from the outer edges. Yummy!!!
