But the biggest surprise about the book isn't the dozens of mouthwatering brownies - it's how simple it is to make them. Not a single recipe contains more than 10 ingredients, and Helding peppers the book with honest tips about everything from melting chocolate to troubleshooting with your oven. The best part is, she's adamant about small batch baking and sharing her brownies with eager bakers - and what's sweeter than that?

Currently if you are looking to buy the Flour book, Amazon suggests buying the Fat Witch Brownie book as well. I spent about a month working at Amy's Breads in NYC in their Chelsea store and on my way ... I would walk by Fat Witch Brownies. Sometimes they would have small tastes of brownies on the counter and I would sneak in and take a few samples. I never once bought a brownie. I feel like I should buy a book or three to make up for all the brownie treats I ate.
