Sweet and Salty, another day stuck in quarantine!

During this quarantine time, we all need a little bit of that happy feeling that we get when we bite into a food that excites our tastebuds.  Try our homemade brownie recipe either from a box mix or from the recipe below.  The key is to add a pyramid flake sea salt like Aegean Cyprus Flake Sea Salt. These pyramid flake salts have a texture and crunch all their own. It's frankly amazing on brownies!
