kam's sweets: boozy citrus brownies

I have a confession. I love chocolate, but I do not like chocolate stuff. Chocolate ice cream is a no, chocolate cake makes me barf, and watching super duper chocolate desserts on Pinterest makes me queasy. However, I love brownies and I love this recipe. This recipe is very easy and it’s adapted from Bakers’ one bowl brownie recipe. It also includes citrus flavors and rum and a glaze with the same citrus flavor and rum. 

Who doesn’t love rum? And if you don’t drink or want to make it children friendly there is an alcohol-free version for this (aka don’t use the rum). 


The best part of this recipe that there are measurements (except for the glaze).
