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.

The fine print: No purchase necessary. Giveaway open to US residents only. Void where prohibited. I was provided with an identical gift box and cheese by Belle Chevre, however all opinions written are purely my own.
Just tried brownies made with avocado in place of the butter, they are DELICIOUS! Even the icing has avocado. Sounds weird, but two of my favorite foods are chocolate and avocados, so it works for me :)
I believe it was a recipe from Kathryn Hepburn that the family I nannied for asked me to make. I really should do that again!
my daughter makes a rich and fudgie brownie which is delicious and becomes even better with her fudge frosting!
thanks for a chance at the giveaway, Lindsay!
As long as the brownie is super chewy and gooey I’m happy wherever it’s from!
What is your all-time favorite brownie, best you’ve ever had?
Peanut butter brownies, so good :D
I tweeted, and my favorite brownies are red velvet ones <3
The best brownie I've ever had was probably also that same red velvet one from a random bakery in New York City.
