While I have many brownie recipes on my site, I actually didn’t have one for brown butter brownies or m&m brownies. What better way to check both of those boxes than to combine them? I am a firm believer in that while not everything needs brown butter, adding it to baked goods (and some non-baking…

What is a peach crisp? There are several desserts that are sort of similar and popular when it comes to summer fruit. There’s cobbler, crumbles and crisps.
