Let's take a brief detour from cookies and talk about brownies. Susan Reid, who is the author of the King Arthur Essential Cookie Cookbook told Tonia's Kitchen about a special kind of Christmas brownie she calls "On The Fence" brownies. Susan told Tonia she lays down one layer of brownie batter in a pan, and then a layer of crushed candy canes or York Peppermint Patties. She then puts down another brownie batter layer and bakes it all together. Not only do they taste good and look beautiful, they give a special holiday air to any gathering!
