CHEWY BROWNIES

Sometimes we need choices. And sometimes we just need a late-night chocolate fix. This may mean we'd rather use our Baking Mix rather than pull out the blender during a commercial break (y'all know by now I'm big on using whole foods with the blender for my scratch baking). Well, if you're fresh outa our Brownie Mix I've got you covered with this easy scratch recipe!
