Hershey's Best Brownies

This was made for my friend, Constance's birthday. Kinda of rush when doing it. But it was so easy, that it actually took me only 10 mins to prepare it. It looked really pretty just like her. Hope she like it and I think she does lah, hee. Manage to get her to come over to my house and bake it in time =). It was a fun evening. Caihui, Constance and Susan were around to fellowship together. Love the girls, they are really close to my heart. Oh later I started doing the tiramisu for Yah Lan's birthday. It is meant for the celebrations for her together with all the leaders on Tue. Will post some pictures up soon.
