Best Brownies by Hershey's

I hate brownies! Why? Erm.. Aku tak sure kenapa. Aku buat brownies maybe 2 kali je kot seumur hidup aku. Or maybe more, but definitely less than 5 times. Iman and Iffah pun tak makan brownies. Their abah makan semua, but since now dia dah jadi health conscious, maka, cakes and cookies, dia memang avoid like a plague.

On the day aku antar kuih sekaya to rumah Ju, Ju balas dengan brownies which use recipe from Hershey's website. Tak sangka sedap sangat. But Ju letak cheese topping kat atas. Iffah loves it too. Dia kata sedap and suruh mama dia buat. Huh! Me? Baking brownies??  Aisey! Memang bercinta la nak buat. Tapi oleh kerana dah ada request from anakanda, maka, terpaksa la buat jugak.

Kebetulan, aku dapat Callibaut cocoa powder from Rina (Thx Rina), so, aku pun terus la study the recipe. I made minor changes to the recipe based on the review written by viewers.

Kalau berkenan dengan butterfly tu, sila place order for the silicon pan dengan k.min ye. hahahhaa.. pening kepala k.min :P
