Southern Artisan Brownie Box GIVEAWAY

More baking with goat cheese. This time in the form of brownies. Belle Chevre Cremery has brought back their popular Southern Artisan Brownie Gift box this holiday season, and for good reason. The box comes with 3 bars of Olive & Sinclair chocolate (produced right here in Nashville!) and a log of Belle Chevre goat cheese. Use the included recipe to prepare some of the most unusually decadent brownies you’ve ever had. And while I can’t share the recipe with you, let me just say they were thoroughly enjoyed by some of Nashville’s toughest food critics (also known as the Nashville Food Bloggers). I brought this batch to our annual holiday party (and white elephant DISH exchange!) and they were devoured, along with other delectable goodies like currant & mint meatballs (Angela, you MUST share the recipe!), Happy Holidays Punch from Teresa, and (prepare yourselves), Bite-sized Rosemary & Dried Cherry Biscuits with Brined and Smoked Duck Breasts with Black Garlic Aioli and Spicy Cherry Jam. Phew, that’s a mouthful, in more ways than one.
Needless to say, it was quite a spread. And quite a party.

Now, back to this brownie box.
It’d make a great gift for the goat cheese and/or chocolate lover in your life. Or keep it for yourself. Whatever, I’m not one to judge. Either way, I’m giving one box away to one lucky L&OO reader! Also special just for you guys, for a limited time get a 10% discount on Belle Chevre holiday gift boxes. Simply use code LAOO2011.

My favorite brownie?
When I was a kid my mom made Betty Crocker brownies, but always took them about about 10 minutes early. The middle ones were so warm, so gooey, and just barely cooked. Sprinkled with powered sugar? The. best.

The brownies from Lola’s Cookies (in Paris) are by far the best I’ve ever had! They take “death by chocolate” to a whole new meaning! So good.

What is your all-time favorite brownie, best you’ve ever had? = probably the ones I make that I call fudgy nutella brownies b/c they are sooooo dense and rich. No one else makes brownies thick, dense, or rich enough for me. Except you! Yours look…amazing. Must try.

GIRL, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a brownie. But honestly, and I’m being totes serious. I remember loving the boxed kind growing up.

Best brownie I’ve ever had… was a classic brownie, dense and fudgy, with a thin layer of chocolate ganache frosting and studded with white chocolate chips.

I love my BIL’s caramel brownies. But I think I could switch to the goat cheese brownie if I win.

Yay for Olive and Sinclair’s beautiful graphics! My favorite all-time brownie is the last one I had (what can i see, the stomach-memory is fickle): fudgy brownies with bits of peppermint Jo-Jos dispersed throughout. Yum. And I’m already a fan on FB! :)

There aren’t brownies that I don’t love, but I do like them with Bailey’s and Mint.

A caterer in town called Monty’s makes the best brownies that are gooey but still have chocolate chunks in them. They are amazing.

hard decision between Kate Hepburn’s brownies, Nick Maglieri’s spectacular brownies and Maida Heatter’s Palm Beach Brownies, but I guess I’ll say Kate Hepburn’s.

Being asked to think of the best-ever brownie I’ve eaten has brought back such a happy flood of incredible brownie memories… but the best I’d have to say was one from the Brooklyn bakery Baked: They make a “sweet and salty” brownie with caramel and fleur de sel… oh my word.
Brownies are and have always been my ultimate sweet weakness.
Reply
I used to make cream cheese brownies with honey to help cut down on the sugar. So dense, so moist, so gooey. I loved them. I haven’t made them in years, but they’re still my absolute favorite.
Reply
Love my brownies with a crisp edge to them (one of the new pans is on my Christmas wish list). I prefer mine with nuts, and not gooey or dripping with frosting, etc.
