Patricia Helding's rich, intensely chocolaty Fat Witch brownie is a New York obsession, an internet sensation, and arguably the very best brownie to be found on the planet. Unlike other bakeries that feature a range of desserts, Fat Witch, launched by Helding in 1998, specializes only in brownies - baking and selling over 2,000 each day. In "Fat Witch Brownies", Helding showcases for the first time her favorite spins on the classic chocolate brownie with creations like the Banana Bread Brownie and the Breakfast Brownie, and she expands her repertoire even further with recipes for other scrumptious bar-shaped confections. With over 50 recipes that can be baked in the same 9 X 9-inch pan and require fewer than 10 ingredients, Helding shows that baking from scratch is neither expensive nor time-consuming. All of her recipes include ingredients from local grocery stores, and are ready to serve in one hour or less. Beginning with tips on the proper tools, timing, and techniques, continuing with five chapters of recipes, and finishing with fabulous frostings, "Fat Witch Brownies" allows readers to explore the versatility and richness of brownies and bars and create the incredible desserts in their very own kitchens that have made Helding's bakery famous.
