A little over a month ago I was the lucky winner of a giveaway.

Not Rachael Ray gave away the Baked Explorations cookbook and brownie mix. I was so excited to win, I had been wanting the Baked Explorations cookbook forever.

I received my package during all of the cookieswap madness so I decided to wait to make the brownies until after I got back from winter break.

The chocolate craving hit me one day when I was in class. While I was walking home in the snow I tried to think of what to make, then remembered this brownie mix.

It’s really hard to avoid warm fudgey brownies on a cold snowy day.

The box contained a packet of chocolate chips and a dry mix, and the instructions were simple.

Basically melt the butter and chocolate chips together. Add the eggs and mix it all up.

It took about 10 minutes to melt and mix everything, pour it in the pan and put it in the oven.

After they are done, the hardest part is waiting. I broke after 30 minutes and ate a corner piece. Amazing.

You want these brownies!
