Any brownie, iced or not, nuts or not, is better than any other dessert. My second choice would be chocolate cake. :)

I prefer to stay home, too. My brother can't sit still for a second, but I'm more of a happy hermit.

I'll take chocolate over any other flavor every time... and the gooey-fudgy-crispy-crunchy brownie is king over all. *g*

I love chocolate anything but I'm also very fond of fresh strawberries or raspberries.

[cairistiona7]

I do love a good strawberry shortcake.

[mrowe]

I think I just like all the desserts...

[cairistiona7]

I do have to draw the line at anything with coconut flakes. I hate the way they feel. :P (However, I happily accept pina coladas....)

That video literally made me laugh out loud. :D

Glad your family's in good shape for the time being, despite stress all this uncertainty can bring!

It is SO hard for me to choose favorite desserts because it changes all the time for me. Lots Of Chocolate is a consistent theme, though. *g* During the winter it trends more toward the warm, baked things, where in warmer times I'm more likely to go for something that has a cool/cold component, at least, whether that's an ice-cream-based cake or something with a cream/pudding layer, etc. Variety of textures tends to be a big factor in how much I enjoy desserts. (But also - YES to brownies being superior without nuts. TBH, I like most nuts quite a bit, but walnuts and pecans almost always make things worse.)

I'm going to try to find cute vids to post each day. They're nice stress relievers. :)

I can eat ice cream year round, but yes, heavy baked goods in the summer aren't as satisfying as they are in the fall or winter. (Read: I'll eat a smaller brownie with a bigger scoop of ice cream in the summer XD)

i had some brands of chocolate biscuits that i liked, there were some cakes that i liked, and as for chocolate, my favorite is milka filled with strawberry cream. but i stopped eating sweets 2 years ago. my problem was - blemishes. always, always, always. no matter what i used for cleaning my face. and then i stopped eating sweets... and guess what was the outcome?

[cairistiona7]

Oh wow, I'm sorry you can't eat sweets at all. :(

[ellynn_ithilwen]

ah well, you get used to it :) besides, if i ever want chocolate, it's enough to look in the mirror to see how i look now. and to remember how i looked before. and motivation is here again! :)

True! Nothing like a bad reaction to a certain food or ingredient to put you off for life!
