Brownies are the dessert everyone agrees on. They don’t ask much of you, they don’t require special equipment, and no one complains when they show up.
Around Christmas, they get a little glow-up — a peppermint swirl here, some festive sprinkles there — but at their core, they’re still the dependable, chocolatey treat people reach for first.
