What a perfect way to honor Joan! This past week all I could think about was her and her 3 kids—so heartbreaking. But you definitely honored her in the perfect way with these brownies, Kelly! They look so fudgy I can hardly stand it!

I didn’t know joan, or her blog, but I have seen a lot of people posting about it and it’s always sad when we lose someone in the blogging community.
It looks like she knows how to make a good brownie – these look incredible.

I was so heartbroken to hear of Joan’s passing last week. I loved her blog and even though I never met her in person, I adored her stories and recipes. These brownies are such a great way to honor her, Kelly! They look delicious and like the perfect sweet treat!
