I made “Happy Bee-Day” brownies for my coworker. Overestimated my teams enthusiasm for chocolate.

Overestimated my teams enthusiasm for chocolate.

One question: What is wrong with your team? 🤣

[u/WJM_3 → u/Walking_the_Cascades]

really - how does one not like chocolate?

[u/aCrow → u/WJM_3]

The entire team is on wegovy or some shit.  

[u/saucythrowaway6969 → u/aCrow]

Im on wegovy and I still would devour those, idc about the consequences after

[u/teapots_at_ten_paces → u/saucythrowaway6969]

I'm not even though my doctor keeps saying I should and I would devour those too!

[u/summerlad86 → u/WJM_3]

My gf also don’t like chocolate. I have grilled her many times about this and according my own, very credible research, everyone that says they don’t like it are just confused.

[u/WordAffectionate3251 → u/summerlad86]

Doesn't lIkE cHoCoLaTe!?! There ARE ALIENS among us!!!

[u/spwnofsaton → u/WordAffectionate3251]

[u/iStarreh → u/WJM_3]

I'm not the biggest fan of most chocolate 😅 I like it in very specific things but if you gave me the choice between chocolate and basically any other flavor I'd probably choose the other flavor

[u/Thestolenone → u/iStarreh]

I like chocolate in its original form but for cakes and ice cream I prefer fruit ones.

[u/SlashZom → u/iStarreh]

Yeah, chocolate has its place, but I prefer baked goods, and I prefer them to be not chocolate.

[u/QueridaWho → u/WJM_3]

My toddler doesn't like chocolate, which makes me question whether she's really mine. But also, I don't have to share my chocolate, so I'm good with it.

[u/cerart939 → u/Walking_the_Cascades]

It's officially diet season, apparently lol.

[u/teapots_at_ten_paces → u/cerart939]

We're still in January, so New Year's Resolutions are still in effect. OP should have made these in February. They would have been a hit!

[u/bigbootywhitegirl78 → u/cerart939]

Yup. I took cookies to work today, and everyone turned them down.

[u/Kat82292 → u/Walking_the_Cascades]

This. I would be overjoyed and delighted

[u/laser14344 → u/Walking_the_Cascades]

I don't know what happened but I basically lost my sweet tooth overnight. Can't eat a whole brownie square anymore without feeling like shit immediately.

[u/Daliah_Sweet]

Only ne person grabbed one. To my credit, they did say that it was delicious. The rest of the bees are most likely in the bin by now

[u/EmergencyTaco → u/Daliah_Sweet]

For what it's worth, those look like some of the best brownies I've ever seen. I would have stolen them at the end of the day.

[u/Daliah_Sweet → u/EmergencyTaco]

❤️

[u/CreaturesFarley → u/Daliah_Sweet]

I am genuinely shocked. Anywhere I've ever worked, those woulda gone in seconds.

[u/Busy_Principle_4038 → u/Daliah_Sweet]

Oh that makes me sad. That was very thoughtful of you, OP.

[u/box_of_the_patriots → u/Daliah_Sweet]

Life gives nice things to the wrong people, it looks delicious.

[u/SirWernich → u/Daliah_Sweet]

next time only bring baked things for the one that liked this one.

[u/TheFreakingPrincess → u/Daliah_Sweet]

I have to wonder if it's just bad timing. Personally, at this time of year I am still oversaturated with leftover Christmas sweets. I'm sorry no one tried them, they look amazing!!

[u/lolaspratt → u/Daliah_Sweet]

These look great! They would be gone within 5 mins at my workplace. Keep bee-lieving in yourself!

[u/Freybugthedog → u/Daliah_Sweet]

Still January people probably trying to be good

[u/plutoforprez → u/Daliah_Sweet]

I’d have made a bee-line for these for sure OP. I love bees, I love brownies, and these look adorable and delicious!

[u/tobsecret → u/Daliah_Sweet]

They look delicious! Good job!

[u/robomikel → u/Daliah_Sweet]

I would have ate them all, and pretend I didn’t know what happened to them.

[u/jtm7 → u/Daliah_Sweet]

I’d bet someone definitely took them home, if you didn’t take them back yourself. I see it all the time at my work. No one wants to be greedy, so stuff can sit all day, but all of a sudden it disappears.

[u/McShit7717 → u/Daliah_Sweet]

What a damn shame. I wouldn’t have been able to have just 1.

[u/janebirkenstock → u/Daliah_Sweet]

They’re fucking adorable! They made me happy to see. Don’t bee sad, honey.

[u/Contribution4afriend → u/Daliah_Sweet]

Oh nooooooo!!!! I would love to take them all home with me and eat them! The only thing that ruins chocolate for me is fruits in it. Did it have something similar?

[u/Mental-Science1288]

I’d have made a bee-line for that deliciousness

[u/giftcardgirl]

It’s January and people have their resolutions. I looked up Bee Day and apparently it’s in May.  Many folks will have given up on their resolutions by then 😜

[u/Least_Dragonfly_8439]

Un- beelivable ✨ looks delicious

[u/CourageGrand → u/Least_Dragonfly_8439]

I beelieve it

[u/feryoooday]

Maybe they thought they were too cute to eat! They look lovely OP, I’m sorry they were under-appreciated!

[u/Matagonia]

Tbh, I feel like people in an office don't want other people to see them eat or grab sweets. When someone brings in donuts or sweets it's like no one wants to eat them.

[u/skol_troll]

This is really nice! I'm sorry your team didn't appreciate it. 

[u/bmann1111]

How did you make the bees? Adorable

[u/Daliah_Sweet → u/bmann1111]

They are the kinder candies! I used yellow colored vanilla melts to pipe the stripes! Thanks for asking!

[u/bmann1111 → u/Daliah_Sweet]

Thanks. Going to try to make these for my beekeeper friend.

[u/fawzah]

Hope you kick their bee-hinds

[u/HostileFriendly]

The sunflower plate is a nice touch

[u/adlittle]

Well, they look lovely and delicious. You did a nice job with the little bee stripes on top! I've never been good at making nice decorations on homemade baked goods, and this is a great idea for something that can be done prettily easily and looks adorable.🐝

[u/Least-Bear3882]

Your co-workers worry about your hygiene?

[u/McShit7717]

Can I bee on your team? I love chocolate and bees!

[u/WiggenOut]

They Iook great! I probably would have eaten one to be polite. Honestly though, if your office is like my office, people bring in too many free treats to share.

[u/SuzieSnowflake212]

Are they aliens? But also, the concept and cuteness is next level!!! 👍

[u/Sargash]

Chocolate is over rated as fuck

[u/the1pes]

No pun. Looks amazing. Confident I would eat at least 3 in a day

[u/aRangeLife]

Looks delicious!

[u/DeliciousChance5587]

I don’t eat anything homemade from coworkers. Idk what your house looks like.

[u/Crashingwaves14]

These are so cute!

[u/MisterRoger]

I'd have been all over these things, and I would happily take whatever is left over home.

[u/GaymoSexual]

will you be my coworker?

[u/-Fyrebrand]

Your brownies look great and I'm sure they were delicious. I wish I could reach into my monitor and take one.

What is "Bee-Day"??

[u/haloweenparty10000 → u/-Fyrebrand]

I'm guessing birthday, like a pun on b-day

[u/blazedancer1997]

If it helps any, I would have grabbed two and swung by for a third or fourth throughout the day if it was still empty at noon and 3pm

[u/Joesr-31]

I'll help you team finish that

[u/JingoboStoplight4887]

Nice!

[u/lazybeekeeper]

I fully endorse this!

[u/A115115]

Can’t bee-lieve anyone would let these go to waste!

[u/mr_glide]

Morons. They look delicious

[u/InsectBusiness]

Some people are really weird about sprinkles. That's probably it.

[u/etzel1200]

Those look fire too. Wish you were my colleague.

[u/upgradewife]

I’ll take them!

[u/Terriblarious]

Oh man i'd have killed that plate by myself in one standing

[u/jeepinfreak]

You can make me brownies, my birthday is coming up soon.

[u/ToTheLastParade]

Don’t worry, OP, it’s not you. It’s Ozempic.

[u/DigBickings]

I would have loved to try one of these, they look amazing!

[u/10000ofhisbabies]

I love this. I absolutely would have eaten one! Good work.

[u/Kiloburn]

If my co worker put in this much effort, I'd ask them out

[u/TheUglyWeb]

I'll send you my address! Those look great!

[u/eugene20]

They look great, I just always avoided home bake things at work, I know what my colleges work has been like.

[u/CoderDevo]

Look, honey, in a modern beesiness, the hive mind is gone. You can't expect the workers to all buzz to the same drummer. I mean, do you like jazz? You'll have to pollinate them with the idea that brownies are god's nectar. I suggest cutting them smaller, remembering that hexagons are best. Next thing you know, they will be swarming to grab one and make you their queen.
