Kenilworth egg farmers Steve and Marsha Shaw love brownies. Especially Steve, who is a serious chocolate lover! Marsha likes to make this favourite family recipe when she knows everyone is going to be home.
These brownies can be enjoyed sliced into squares or bars, or for a special treat, cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter, then decorated as desired.
