This brownie is not anything like the kind you get out of a box. It has an almost truffle-like chocolate texture with a bit of a crunch from the chocolate chips. A friend of mine, Allison, who taste-tested for me coined it. She said, “this is an adult brownie”. Yup, as in maybe so sinful and rich, it should only be eaten after hours. Ok. Not that obscene but, really good and you might “mmmm” and “ooooh” while you are eating it. At least I do. But, we know I have an unhealthy obsession with all things chocolate. Top it with fresh, homemade vanilla bean ice cream and I’m in heaven! Really. What more is there to say?
