Brownies are so freakin versatile. They are ooey, gooey, fudgy, fantastic, on their own, and even more bonkers when you add candy or maybe some caramel or go that extra step with some homemade ice cream on top.
Just the thought of brownie sundaes makes my mouth water. These brownies are unreal. They are packed with flavor but aren’t sooo chocolatey that they will scare away those who aren’t as big of a chocoholic as me. They are like a really awesome brownie from a mix. I know, what you’re thinking – a mix?!? There is just something about the crackly top and fudgy center of a brownie mix brownie, I love them. These are that perfect brownie and the best part about them is they take only a teensy bit longer than a box mix to make!
Now it’s your turn, go forth and bake!
