Auntie Margaret’s amazing chocolate brownies

For many summers growing up, we would file into the car and drive 24 hours to visit the Millard family in Winnipeg… more specifically Auntie Margaret’s cottage on Winnipeg Beach.  The drive felt endless – hours of farmland and bumpy roads – but it was worth every mile, knowing what was waiting for us at the end: Auntie Margaret’s chocolate brownies. Not just any brownies, but the kind you dream about, rich and gooey, with that perfect crinkly top.

I can still see her tiny cottage, white paint chipping on the walls, the smell of lake air and pine trees surrounding us. Auntie Margaret, always in her faded apron, would greet us with a wave from the porch, where she’d sit with a cup of tea and a tin of those famous brownies. With ice cream of course!
