My Version of Chewey Double Chocolate Brownies
My favorite thing to bake when I am in the mood is a dozen of Double Chocolate Brownies drizzled with hot chocolate ganache on top. I love it fresh out of the oven. Suggestions on the best chocolate brands to use are included at the end of this post. Happy baking! 🙂
