~PAC Spring 2008~ What a great idea for a gift. Who wouldn't love the makings for delicious brownie cups?! I must admit, I was in danger of eating all of the batter before putting them in the muffin tins. The batter is DELISH! The brownie muffins (those that made it to the pan) came out chocolately and moist.
