This is the brownie recipe that all of you must try. Yes, it is simple to make and tastes out of this world. I have made it three times since bookmarking the recipe. It is just too good and very hard to resist. The center is fudgy and will melt in the mouth and the edges have a bite to it. I do not make desserts often, but this is going to be an exception. The kids have already planned to taking this to school for parties .
I have increased the sugar and reduced the cocoa because the original recipe resulted in brownies that were a tad on the bitter side. Off to the recipe. Recipe adapted slightly from here.
