CHEWY BROWNIES WITH CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING
Brownie CakeLast week we went to look at a pre-school for my son and I think it’s perfect. HOLD MEEEE. I’m so nervous and the thought of leaving him for a few hours with strangers two days a week (I mean, it’s only 2 1/2 hours so I think I can handle it..) makes me want to cry. I know it’ll be so beneficial for him though because they say the two’s are terrible but I’m not so sure because he’s three and it’s pretty crazy over here! After thinking about my baby growing up, I knew I needed to drown myself in some chocolate. Enter: Chewy Brownies with Chocolate Fudge Frosting.
Here’s the thing. These frosted brownies have been on my mind for weeks. I realized about a month ago that I didn’t have a frosted brownie recipe in my archives and this seemed like the perfect time to deal with that because frosted brownies are such a favorite in our house. You know those frosted brownies that you get at the grocery store in the bakery section? I basically lived on those when I was younger.
Everyone has a favorite brownie recipe and there are zillions of different recipes you can find all over the place. Some recipes use cocoa powder and some use melted chocolate. I usually stay away from the brownies with melted chocolate just because I am super lazy and I feel like cocoa powder lends a richer tasting brownie anyway so it’s a win-win. Some people like fudgy brownies, some like chewy, some like cakey brownies. These brownies are just like your favorite box mix brownies – easy, chewy and super chocolatey.
