A brownie is about as American as you can get, and I make this special dessert only on Independence Day. —Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

I made these one night for my husband....needless to say, this is the only brownie he wants. When we go to friends gatherings, he always suggests I make these. People are always asking for the recipe.

Absolutely delightful !!
