I recall the first time I had the world’s greatest brownies. I was at a friend’s house, and she had cooked them herself. I couldn’t get enough of these since they were so delicious and chocolaty. I told her she had to provide the recipe to me, and she did, it was out of a box.
I’ve been cooking these brownies for myself and for others ever since. No matter who I make them for, they always seem to be a hit. I believe it is because they are just tasty. I can’t stop smiling every time I eat into one of these brownies.
If you’ve never had these brownies, I highly encourage you do so. They will, I assure you.
