Every year, my sister-in-law and I gather our kids to celebrate the beginning of another school year. We have dinner and end the evening with Pencil Shaped Brownie. It’s a simple tradition that has become a “must-do” every fall for our kids.
Below you’ll find instructions on how to make our Pencil Brownie.
