That's funny. At my house I would have the same comment as 'mndbfan'. There have never been leftover brownies even if they are hard as a rock, they WILL be eaten.

Leftover brownies are brownies that are leftover from when you made them (or bought them).

I see a common thread here, what is this ingredient referred to as "Leftover Brownies?" I have never heard of such a thing! It is a good thing that freshly baked brownies can be used as an alternative. 8^)
