There are all kinds of foods that come on sticks. Hot dogs…corn dogs…uhhh, kebab…okay, maybe only a few foods. But nowhere do you see people putting brownies on a stick, much less an edible one! That’s what we did for you. These soft & chewy brownies are the perfect holiday dessert for any gathering. The most fun is bringing them to a party and watching how fast they disappear. It’s a season of giving, after all.
