Delicious Chewy Brownies


Ok, I know....WHY OH WHY am I doing this to you? You're trying to be healthy. You're trying to fit into your skinnies this year. Let me tell you...yes, these have sugar. Yes, these have cocoa powder. Yes, there is some flour....but they are DELICIOUS. AND...if this helps, we cut the sugar down from the original called amount and cut the cocoa powder too, because...hold on to your panties....our kids aren't big on anything that is 'too' sweet. Ya, don't even worry about reading that last part over again....you read it right.

What you need:
- 3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 c sugar
- 3/4 c melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 c flour (i used unbleached)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt (suggest not doing if your butter is salted)

What to do:
1) Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2) Mix all the dry ingredients together.
3) Make sure butter is completely melted and put all the wet ingredients together and mix.
4) pour wet slowly into the dry while mixing and continue mixing until blended.
5) Spread evenly into 9x13 greased pan.
6) Bake for 25-30 min. 
7) Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

NOTES:
- In order for the brownies to not be 'crumbly' it's highly suggested you mix dry, mix wet and then blend. Normally, I just do everything together...but for this, it's def suggested to do seperately.
- Melt the butter completely people...it takes a few extra minutes. Do it...your brownies will be better.
- 9x13 is what is called for, but I made mine thinner by using something slighty larger. I also used the rubber 'pans'. Worked beautifully. Not going to lie, I am not sure what it would've been like in an actual pan.
**IT'S GOING TO BE STICKY...the batter that is. It's supposed to be that way...hence CHEWY brownies. If you don't like sticky batter, don't make this recipe...period.
- Defintely wait until they are completely cooled before cutting. If you see the picture above, the middle has a little crumbling going on. BECAUSE it still wasn't cool in the middle. GRRR. BUT, it was perfectly cut and still chewy on the cooled cut pieces. Don't care about crumbling, ignore the cooling and cut away. I get it...you want them NOW! ha.


As always, enjoy. Make sure y'all let me know how it turns out. The good, bad and ugly. Feel free to share the brownie love...and if you can't....at least share the recipe people.

Feeling it...true confessions of a business owner.

Dear readers....this is a long time coming. I've written 'truth' articles before...but always hiding behind some sort of mask to save my feelings. But brace yourself, I am going to let it all out because I am tired. I am tired of fighting, yet I can't seem to let go of my dream. So, let's dig into the nitty gritty shall we? We've been an official business now for 5 years. Having a business means spending long nights thinking of product, doing research, testing product, taking time away from family to fulfill orders, redoing websites/scents, doing taxes....the list is literally endless. As soon as I think I am done, there is something else. We then have to market, because how else are people going to find out about us? Marketing is going on all social outlets...facebook, instagram, twitter (which I'll admit that I haven't done in months, probably more like a year), then there are other outlets now like ello and snapchat.... then there's doing ema...

The throw down truth

   I am anxious to see who will actually read this, because while I think it's super important....people don't like back story. So, why in the hell am I spending time on a blog that is going to have the throw down truth in it about my business? Because, it's important that as my family, friends, fans, clients, etc know exactly what makes LBN so different. Now wait, I swear I just felt the eye roll and the huff of air out of your mouth....but really....besides price, or that you may know me....do you really know why would want to purchase my items? Please, before judging, take a minute to read the article. Truly understand WHAT you are investing in.    As most of you know that little girl in the picture above is now my oldest child. She is the WHOLE basis of the company. In fact, her name is part of the business. We call her Belle. Now, before I make this into a huge sappy story....the name of my business is VERY important. If you didn't know, surprise... I am Fren...
