Basically, all The Maven wants right know is sweets, and the incredibly dense, decadent treats from Freeport-based Simply Divine Brownies are just the thing. Even though it sounds like overkill, the frosting makes them even better. We like to keep it simple, with the chocolate-on-chocolate Cocoa's IncrEdible Creations, but there's something for everyone, including blueberry frosted, turtle and gluten-free varieties.
Where: The retail shop is located in Wilbur's of Maine, 174 Lower Main St., Freeport, Maine

And, more important, which isn't.
Where: State Street Wine Cellar, 195 State St., Bangor, Maine
When: Before your next party
