Birthday Brownie Tart
Last week was my brother’s birthday and I decided to make him a Brownie in the shape of a tart or a Brownie Tart. He loves brownies and I wanted something that was more cake like. He also didn’t want a cake at his birthday party cause it was planned to be late night at a bar, so I made this for him to enjoy on his actual day. I was pleased when he didn’t want to share it with anyone! Birthday Brownie Tart
