I love the brownie that you have❤️
oh my word this looks amazing! pinned it to try it later! stopping by from happiness is homemade!
I can’t get over how good these look. I LOVE those brownies. I have to try this.
These are the real deal!! I used mini semi sweet chocolate chips, doubled the recipe, 1 cup white and 1 cup brown sugar. No chips on top and it was still so amazing! The mini chips made it easier to cut into smaller chunks after it cooled. Also cooked at 340 in a 9×11 pyrex dish. They were amazing and a big hit on New Years Eve!
So glad you liked these Susan!
