Apparently today is “Fat Tuesday” or “Mardi Gras” for you New Orlean-ers. This is the day some people feast on lots of food in preparation for the fasting of the Lenten season.
Mardi Gras has always just been a normal day for me, as with other “holidays” that we do not get a day off of work. Why bother celebrating?
With that said, it just so happens I made brownies over the weekend and I decided I would share the recipe in the spirit of Fat Tuesday!! Jessica from How Sweet It Is has some killer recipes, so if you want THIS recipe, head to her website NOW!!
I duplicated the recipe (omitting the red food coloring and the frosting) and it turned out to be the most fudge-like brownie I’ve ever had!
Will I eat the whole pan because it is Fat Tuesday? No. Do they meet my PMS-related chocolate craving (that could just be my excuse to eat chocolate)? Why yes, yes they do.
Licking the bowl is okay sometimes...

Happy Mardi Gras…try not to be too indulgent.

Oh man. I need some of those RIGHT NOW. Erin, why does PMS make us crave chocolate?
I totally forgot today was Fat Tuesday! I want to make these
oh wow! these look like the perfect dessert!
I could really go for a sweet treat like that right now!!! yum!
Red velvet cupcakes!! Ohh those sound amazing. Jessica sure knows her baking!
Oh, gosh. Those look decadent.
I forgot it was Fat Tuesday until I saw it on the news today. Oops. I should have done a “fat” recipe lol. Oh well. I want some of your brownies!!
Funny, just on Sunday I made a chocolate texas sheet cake because I desperately NEEDED chocolate in baked form. And while I could eat the whole pan, I generously (wink,wink) gave most of it away. Sharing is caring!
I saw these on How Sweet It Is….thanks for reminding me about them
My husband will love me for making them, but I’m afraid I would sit & eat half the pan right along with him. They look amazing!
OMG I am drooling haha. I am such a sucker for chocolate, it’s scary
Jessica is a genius. All of her treats look so yummy. I have never been a chocolate person, but since this pregnancy hit….things are a changing
Happy Mardi Gras!
I could really go for an entire tray of these today. It’s just one of those days, ya know?
I saw those brownies and were dying to try them. If I had to bookmark all her recipes, I’d have a book by now!
I don’t celebrate Fat Tuesday but I do celebrate Pancake (Shrove) Tuesday…yum!!
Now I am drooling over these brownies for a second time! I am scared to make them because I think I’d eat way too many!
Jess’s treats are genius. Nom!
I *wish* we got Fat Tuesday off from work!
The brownies look awesome! I love anything chocolate
Jessica has some baller recipes! =) She’s a little baking machine! <3
Happy Tuesday! <3
I loove her recipes!
Been meaning to try these out soon….my sister’s favorite cake is red velvet and her birthday is coming up!
Jessica’s recipes are DECADENT! I feel like I gain an inch over my waist every time I stop by her blog
I bookmarked this recipe when Jess posted it because it looks absolutely amazing (just like everything else she cooks!) Glad you could satisfy your chocolate craving!
I am so glad you liked them!!
