I can’t think of a better way to kick-off 68 Days of Gourmet than with these Rocky Road Brownies.

I wanted to make a dessert last weekend for the blog (and for our enjoyment on Friday night!). I needed to narrow down my options – it’s a little tough just to say “I want to make a dessert” – so I decided to focus on tarts. I bought a tart pan at Williams-Sonoma a [...]
