Friday Feast: Heavenly Hash Brownies

Yes, I know, I’ve been doing quite a lot of dessert Friday Feasts. I do cook real meals! But, lately, I’ve been making so many yummy things for fun occasions, that I had to show you all the good sweets in my oven.

When I was growing up, every Easter, we would have Gold Brick and Heavenly Hash Eggs from the local candy factory, Elmer’s. Oh they are so good. I didn’t realize that they were found only in the South, saturating the Louisiana market. I have a hard time finding Heavenly Hash Eggs in my neighborhood Publix.

So, when I rediscovered this recipe for Heavenly Hash Brownies, I had to try them. And, wow, they are great. Yes, they are not exactly like the Elmer’s Eggs, but these are some wonderful brownies.
