Product Description
Written by award-winning chef, culinary instructor, food columnist, and bakery director Bev Shaffer, this tasted-and-tested collection spans the brownie spectrum. In addition to a history of brownies, baking basics, and use-fill information on chocolate, the recipes collected here include everything from classics like Deluxe Brownies with Caramel Sauce and Swirled Brownies to more adventuresome suggestions like Raspberry-Mascarpone-Filled Brownies, Kahlua Brownies, Macadamia-Nut White Brownies, Cappuccino Brownies, and much more. A chapter on "Brownies as Art" will encourage you to dip, dunk, and layer your once-basic brownies, and another chapter on frostings and glazes will further inspire you to make that special brownie even more irresistible. Presented in the humorous and down-to-earth style of author and radio and television personality Bev Shaffer, this book invites you to join in her passion for food, baking, and fun. Specializing in creating uncomplicated recipes and calming food phobias, Shaffer includes her usual measure of tips, techniques, and encouragement with each tablespoon of chocolate.

 brownie lover November 19, 2007
Brownie Lover
Every one of the brownie recipes that we have tried from this book were excellent. We took the brownies to church and everyone raved over them. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone who loves chocolate and loves brownies. They are to die for!
Wow! Great Brownie Recipes February 18, 2007
K. McNabb (Southern California)
My sister brought this book home from the library and it looked wonderful, so I made up the Kahlua brownies right away. Can you say Fab-u-lous! Since we had to return the book to the library, I bought the book so as never to be more than an hour away from a brownie treat.
The next batch of brownies I made (cream cheese layered) were better than the first batch. This book is a solid home run. If you love brownies, you will love this book.
sinfully delicious January 3, 2007
Lester R. Lenzner (San Diego, CA)
Many recipes call for a basic brownie to start with, and others are far-fetched variations on a theme, but there are enough excellent twists (and great instructions) to make the book a worthwhile addition to the library of any decadent brownieholic.
Where are all the pictures? August 19, 2006

Great recipes, but I have a tendency to want to know what the finished product is going to look like, especially on the more complex recipes. Very little pictorial representation is the only drawback that I can find to this book.
 Buy "Brownie Points" instead June 8, 2006

I searched three different bookstores on my last day in the US, so desperate was I to have this book. Just when I was about to give up, I was able to procure the last copy that they had at Barnes & Noble.
I read this on the 15 hour flight back home, and I must say that I prefer Lisa Slater's Brownie Points. While Brownies to Die For! has a more captivating title, and is hardbound, I'm a little wary of the photos, which I feel are very amateur for a published book, especially one by a food writer and recipe developer. Reading the past customers' reviews about wayward recipe cooking times only increases my trepidation of whether this book was worth my fervent search for it. Save yourself the grief and buy Brownie Points instead.
