I love brownies more than almost any other dessert. When I tasted these decadent babies from my sister-in-law Angie, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. She whipped these up one night practically with her eyes closed. She is one amazing woman and a very good cook. Evidently this is a treasured recipe, and I’m so grateful she was willing to share! Brownies happen to be one of my most favorite desserts ever! This recipe will blow your mind. I am usually a boxed brownie mix kinda girl, until I tasted these. I will still be a boxed brownie girl but for special occasions I will bust these bad boys out.

Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
The perfect pairing of a fresh warm brownie right out the of the oven is if you serve with vanilla ice cream (I prefer vanilla bean) and hot fudge! Yum!
