11 Mounds Bar Brownies {Winner Announced}

Maybe you need to celebrate, it's girls night, you just broke up with someone, you had a terrible day, you had the #best.day.ever, your dog ate the trash, your dog didn't eat the trash... I can find you any reason to make these completely decadent, blissed out brownies.  I do have one small confession, I don't like scratch made brownies.  I've tried, but I find that Ghirardelli completely rules.  (Ps this is not sponsored by them - just my honest opinion)  I'm going to keep this short and simple, I mean they really do speak for themselves.  And sometimes you just need a quiet moment to close your eyes, tune out the world and savor something good, just let the happy feeling just reach down to your toes.

Did you have your moment yet?

Okay good.

Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway for the OXO Mandolin this last week.   I can't do any of this without you and am so grateful for your support.  So, the big winner is....
