Baked in Brooklyn is one of those New York bakeries I’ve been dying to get to. Unfortunately, I haven’t made it there yet, and now that we have relocated to the Left Coast, who knows when I’ll get to go back to the Big Apple!

Yesterday, I was surprised by mail-order Baked brownies not because of the knock at the door where this box of chocolatey goodness was waiting for me, but because I happened to look at our bank account that morning where I saw the purchase my husband had made. I tried to keep this from him, but failed miserably. He’s very good at seeing through my ridiculous attempts at being deceptive.

Either way, it was such a wonderful surprise! This particular Sweet & Salty brownie has been featured on  The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Salty Goodness on the Food Network. Ready for my review of this “famous” brownie?

While the name suggests it’s a mixture of salty and sweet, I found that it was mostly sweet and rich. It was a good brownie. I also realized these weren’t fresh out of the Baked ovens so I expected them to not be mind boggling to begin with. Did I say it was a good brownie? A really good brownie? Well it was, but if I’m being perfectly honest… not necessarily the best brownie I ever ate. But wait…

In an effort to preserve this box of six rather large brownies until my Mom and sister come to visit on Wednesday, I decided to throw the box in the fridge last night. I also put one brownie in the freezer for extra preservation in case the others go bad. Go bad? What am I saying? I mean in case they get eaten… by me… the Sweets Fiend!

Anyway, where was I? Oh, right! O-M-G! This is the best freakin’ brownie ever! Why the change of heart you ask? These brownies are so moist and fudgey. I ate one straight from the fridge in all of it’s cool, chocolatey awesomeness. Seriously good. I’ve never had a brownie straight from the fridge, but I’m never going back to those subpar warm ones. (I’ll probably get hate mail for that jab.)

This is the best brownie I’ve ever had. Chilled, of course.

Thanks to my amazing husband for making my chocolate fantasies come true. You are the best!

Order your very own brownies here. Next, I’d like the Baker’s Choice box!
