When I see brownies my mind leaps into a new world of joy and happiness that nothing else could compare. Brownies have the perfect square bodies cut perfectly by their maker. Their brown, flaky top layer looks delicious atop the fresh, darker layer below. Once you bite into a rich warm chocolate brownie, your life will be changed forever. There is no crunching just a delicate heaven for your taste buds. Fresh out of the oven, the brownies melt on your tongue and you float away on a cloud of chewy chocolateness chewing slowly to savor the taste. Once they are gone you wish to reach across the plate to grab another deliciously smooth brownie. Entering your mouth the chocolaty goodness makes you the happiest person in the world. The flaky top might leave remains your lips, but no worries you can save it for later.
