Look at this little baby, this cute Little Box Brownie was kindly given to me from my Dads next door neighbour, this Brownie would have to be one of the cutest I have seen.
For those of you that don’t know, the Brownie was produce by Eastman Kodak in the 1900’s, the camera made photography accessible to the millions, before the Brownie photography was expensive and this little camera brought about the accessibility that we have today. People where able to have there own camera and capture their own family moments, it really revolutionised photography.
I have a couple Brownie Cameras in storage, well they really belong to my brother. But the do say possession in nine tenths the law, and he hasn’t had them for about 15 years so surly there mine? Well I haven’t been able to locate there exact position so when this was kindly donated to me I of course had to shoot it with some delicious Chocolate Brownies. So finally I have be able to pair the two reasons this blog is called Little Box Brownie, Brownie the Camera and Brownie the Sweets, combining my two loves both photography and baking into one name.

I have a confession to make this is the very first time I have tried the famous Oreos and I am not to sure what all the fuss is about ? Could someone explain? On there own there pretty ordinary. But put them in a Chocolate Brownie mixed with all that chocolate they’re great, or maybe its just the Brownie thats great. These cookies give the Brownies a nice texture and give it a little crunch in places which make for a very memorable Brownie. This recipe is sweet and moist and very moorish and soon disappears. But really aren’t all Brownies the bomb?

Sorry…one thing: can you tell me approximate size of your cup, please? nearly 200 g?
Hi Elen, the cups size vs grams would differ depending on what you where measuring. But try this as a approximation
1 cup brown sugar = 200g
1/2 cup almond meal = 50grams
2/3 cup plain flour = 100grams
Hope that helps, good luck with it.
Thank you much))
I really love dark chocolates. This recipe looks absolutely delicious and chocolaty.
You have amazing shots. 🙂
Hi Joel, Thanks. Yeah I am bit of a chocoholic, well more than a bit.
Wow! These brownies really do look amazing, fudgy and moist. Love it!
Thanks Monica.
WOW! These look incredible. I couldn’t be trusted with a batch!
Thanks Sarah, Just make sure you have lots of people around if you decide to make them, then you’ll be forced to share.
Oh my lord, these look divine! So dark and gooey — aahhh. My favorite kind of brownie. (I am not a cakey brownie gal in the least!) So glad you commented so that I could find you, Sophia! I’m excited to keep following. 🙂
Hi Cynthia,
You have a great blog, I am very happy I found you.
Umm apparently I was the only person who thought the title of your blog referred to the baked brownie….{blush}
Anyways… I am with you about Oreos. I just don’t get the obsession. But your brownie looks amazing!!! So rich and chewy.
Hi Lindsey,
Your not the only one:) That’s why I thought it was about time I put them both together and clarify it for everyone. You should give these brownies ago, there super.
Apparently you’re not alone with your confusion about oreos. I really don’t get this oreo craze. There are millions of cookies that are much, much better than oreos. But your brownie looks absolutely great and your photos are simply awesome!!!.
I’m glad I’m not alone, there really are a thousand cookie much better out there. They’re pretty tops in baked goods though
Hi Sophia
Whoops nearly missed you been busy But! so have you. Yes what a beauty such good condition have you tried to take any pic with it yet? The neighbors not the only one giving you gifts. one gorgeous little metal pastry edger made by “Dandy” in the UK I think from the copper ladle lady at the market. Might make her some of your brownies to thank her!
Always G
Hi G,
No the lens on it is broken buts its great for a prop or display. That is so kind of her, wow I’m so humbled that she would think of me. There are such beautiful people in this world. Please send her a huge thank you. I will have to meet her and bake her some brownies next time I’m in town for sure.
These look great! I agree about Oreos being pretty mehh, but they can give a nice touch to baked goods!
Thanks lily, mehh is a perfect word for them, I like that a lot.
Your the bomb little box brownie/Sophia ! You are such an inspiration and I can’t wait to try your new oreo brownie recipe and see you in your gorgeous vintage van.:)
