How about this? It may help. Try brownies with macadamian nuts in them. Black and white, something new. About the spring part, how about writing a letter on each brownie like: S P R I N G. Then, bring the brownies in on a tray with S P R I N G in rows and columns. Get someone to help you understand this if you don't. It's just a suggestion. I hope it work out.

Answer 3

Use your favorite brownie recipe, or box and spread it thin on the bottom of your pan, try to get it in half. Cook it about half the time you usually do. Do this twice so you have two thin layers of brownie. Once the brownies have cooled flip the two trays of brownies out. It works best on a cutting board so they don't break. Spread a whole jar of nutella (you can get this by the peanut butter in the supermarket) on one half. Top this with the other layer of brownie. Then cut into bite size peices. They are really rich. If you want to take it to the next level mix chopped hazelnuts into your brownie batter.

Answer 4

This brownie recipe is from Alice B. Toklas. It is definitely out of this world!

"Take 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 whole nutmeg, 4 average sticks of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon coriander. These should all be pulverized in a mortar. About a handful each of stone dates, dried figs, shelled almonds and peanuts: chop these and mix them together. A bunch of cannibus sativa can be pulverized. This along with the spices should be dusted over the mixed fruit and nuts, kneaded together. About a cup of sugar dissolved in a big pat of butter. Rolled into a cake and cut into pieces or made into balls about the size of a walnut, it should be eaten with care. Two pieces are quite sufficient. Obtaining the cannibus may present certain difficulties.... It should be picked and dried as soon as it has gone to seed and while the plant is still green."
