akeSpy Note: OMG! The 46th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off is coming! Since I so deeply loved attending the 45th Bake-Off, I thought I would get you excited early by sharing some of the finalists' recipes. Do I need to tell you that the winner will receive one million dollars? My posting is on hyperdrive since the event is less than a week a day--check back often, because I will be posting recipes like crazy until the big event!
Julie Pando Watertown, Massachusetts deserves some serious thanks: she's come up with a tasty brownie recipe that comes together in less than 30 minutes and involves minimal ingredients for maximum tastiness. Sweet!
