Best Brownies ever?

So many people tell us our Brownies are the best they have ever tasted. One regular visitor who comes for coffee 2-3 times a week, asked for the recipe. He still comes in just as often for a coffee and a Brownie. According to him it is just not the same eating them at home as it is enjoying our candle lit café…
