Confession #8: Comfort Food

I ate, not merely one, but two chocolate mint brownie bars for breakfast this morning. And my body warmed from the inside out with each and every bite. I knew when I woke up that the only satisfying nourishment for me today would be the indulgence in my most favorite dessert, probably my most favorite food, in the whole wide world. I first tasted these morsels of heaven a little over a year ago, in Florida, when my husband, Phil, made them for me on my birthday in lieu of a cake. Every single bite I take of these luscious desserts makes me groan with delight! I am not sure whether it is the layer of mint frosting, made with confectioner's sugar and butter and mint extract, or if it is just the fact that the love of my life baked them for me with care...regardless, these chocolate mint brownie bars are and ever will be my soul satisfying comfort food.
