These DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES are everyone’s favourite!
This recipe for DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES is absolutely fantastic. We want to send a huge thank you to our friend Liza from TO-GO CATERING in Toronto. She created this scrumptious sweet treat that weekend guests just can’t get enough of.
Here’s why we suggest having a pan of these baked off, at all times:
I can’t say too much about the recipe since I’ve left this one to the experts. There is one optional ingredient: nuts.
I asked Liza about including them, and she said you can if you wish, suggesting a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. I couldn’t decide between the two, so I prepared them with half a cup of each.
I will tell you this – we were halfway through making the recipe and shooting the video when I started thinking, “Oh my gosh, this is totally fabulous!
I’m going to make them again next weekend.” All that before I’d even baked them! Just goes to show, every great treat begins with a stellar recipe.
Now, if you’d like to serve this treat in a more decadent fashion, why not prepare our HOMEMADE VANILLA ICE CREAM and then add a little scoop right before you serve. A hot chocolate or caramel sauce would also work perfectly with this – just saying!
Richly flavoured, chocolatey and wonderfully dense, give GLUTEN-FREE BROWNIE RECIPE a try. Oh, such lovely treats!
