When Brownies and Cookies Collide: Brownie Bombs

Brownies, let’s face it, are the sh*t. They satisfy the most severe PMS cravings, they comfort the most heartbreaking breakups, and they give you a sense of ooey gooey comfort. That said, who’s to say that the brownie doesn’t deserve the occasional update? I mean, with cookie technology continuing to increase, the brownie absolutely has to respond, or it faces becoming obsolete (Oh. The. Horror.)
