Despite that, I rarely have whipped cream on my brownies at home&#8211;I don&#8217;t know if I would have whipped cream on them more often if I made whipped cream more often, but I usually just enjoy the brownie as is. <\/p>\n<p>As for the brownies I made yesterday evening, I once again did the half nut, half no nuts method as it makes my entire family happy (My father and sister preferring nuts while my mother and my fianc\u00e9 prefer no nuts) and since I enjoy both, it&#8217;s a win-win.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/browniesyay.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/browniesyay.png\" alt=\"browniesyay\" width=\"500\" height=\"379\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/browniesyay.png 500w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/browniesyay-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI enjoy the chocolate-y goodness of the no nuts, but also like the nuts as I feel it gives a nice break when a brownie could be too rich.
