" With no ritual initiation into adulthood, it can be hard to know when you&amp;#039;ve definitely made it. Figuring out your go-to, awesome-every-time brownie recipe is a pretty good sign you&amp;#039;re there, though. Forget saving for retirement; your future depends on knowing your exact ratio of gooey to cakey or sweet to fudgy. And there&amp;#039;s only one way to truly know your heart when it comes to brownies. You have to make a bunch of different kinds and try them. You&amp;#039;ve got to be sure. This is important.  1. Gluten-Free Brownies Topped with Caramel and Peanuts   If peanut brittle died and went to gluten-free brownie heaven, you&amp;#039;d get these delicious squares of perfection.
