The Christmas Tree Shops was offering a divided brownie pan for $4.99 last week and I had to have one. You can not beat the price. I've seen these for $19.99 plus $9 s/h! Tried it out this weekend and it works great - once you figure out how to secure the plastic cover. And as an added bonus, I love the brownie recipe which came with the pan. Perhaps better than my original favorite brownie recipe although there isn't a whole lot of difference in the ingredients.

Glad to see that the brownie pan works! I have been thinking about getting one!
I've been wanting that brownie tray! those look delish!
Thanks for testing this out for us. The Christmas Tree Shop is the place to buy things like this...better than the price they charge on the info-mercial. That store is dangerous though. You just can't go in there and look around. I always come out with something.
Hope all is well up north. Our weather was great this weekend in RI, but raining here this week.
Take care,
Karen
I keep seeing that brownie pan and for that price it's a no brainer!
Sweet greetings from Frog Hollow Farm. Love the brownie baker - does it really work well? Is it hard to clean? There was a great recipe on Martha Stewart this morning that combined chocolate chip cookies with a brownie - they called them 'Brookies'. Have a great day - love your title photo with all those beautiful colors - breathtaking!
Lovely work, Berta...Leah
That's quite the brownie pan. They look delicious!
Here from TGC Follow Friday. Those brownies look great and I've seen this on the infomercial and wondered if it worked as well as they say. You never can be sure! Since I couldn't cut a straight line to save my life, this might be worth it for me! :)
That is a fantastic piece of cookware! I love that recipe too- Thanks for posting it!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I was thinking about buying this pan but now that I know it works well I may invest in it. No Christmas tree shop in my area and I always hear such great things about that store.

That pan looks AWESOME and the price you paid is a steal!!...I wish we had one of those stores!!
The recipe sounds really YUMMY!!
Thanks for linking up to I'm Lovin' It! Have a Fantastic Weekend!
If I could find one for 4.99 it would be coming home with me! I've had my eye on them but am not willing to pay 19.99 when I have so many other pans. Glad to know it works well :)
Blessings!
I really want one of those brownie pans! I'm so glad to see that it actually works :) I don't trust the infomercials!
Following you from Friday Follow!
My boys REALLY want this brownie pan, which I think is sort of funny, but I'm sure one day I'll give in and get it for them! :)
Have a great weekend!

I've seen the pan in cooking catalogues but your pictures sold me. Love the carrier, too. Transporting food is almost an art in itself! Thank you for joining us at Foodie Friday!
I have wondered how good those brownie pans are. Thanks for the review AND the great brownie recipe. Thanks for linking to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday, as well.
I've been really eyeing up that pan for ages now. And how wonderful is a brownie recipe with chocolate bits in it? Love it!
Thanks for sharing!
These look great! I have been looking at those pans for months...I think I just might have to get one now! :) Thanks!

I have been looking at those pans at Wal-Greens. Never really wanted to pay $20.00 for one but $4.99 I would have gladly paid. :) Thanks for the comments on it, now I know that they are as good as they seem.
Aw man, hate I missed that deal!! I wouldn't pay $20 for one, either, but $5 - oh yeah! So glad you got one. Those brownies look yummy - I get so hungry on Tuesdays...wonder why??? LOL
What a deal! Those pans look nice, especially if take brownies to potlucks. Looks like a good recipe too! - www.delightfulcountrycookin.com
