Incredible Fudge Brownies

Everyone claims they make the best brownies ever. Sometimes you hear the story that it was passed down to them by their great-grandma's aunt's husband's niece who was well known in the 3 surrounding counties for the best brownies at the church bake sale. While it's awesome to hear those stories about family recipes, sometimes the story is better than the brownie. It's sad, but true.

Now, since I said everyone claims to have the best brownies, I'm not going to do that. In fact, I believe my husband does make the best brownies. :) However, I can't share that recipe with you because it's his secret. He won't even tell ME the recipe. 

 I went on a mission to find a recipe that could compete with his. It didn't take me too long, because these are delicious! I won't claim that they are the best ever only because not everyone likes the same type of brownie. Some like them cakey and light, others like them heavy and dense. I, of course, like dense, warm, need-milk-to-swallow, fudgy brownies. That's exactly what these are. They are incredible. I believe my hubby and I are going to need to have a brownie competition in the near future.

We can thank Yammie's Noshery for this incredible recipe.

Now, like I mentioned before, you will most likely need to have a glass of milk handy when eating one of these bad boys. Don't look at the calories, just enjoy it. :)

No need for frosting! The brownie itself is super fudgy, and the top is that crisp, crackly layer that is just to-die-for. And then there's the chunks of chocolate studded throughout...YUM!!!

Okay, I better stop posting so I'm not tempted to eat the whole pan.

Load 'em up and bring them somewhere to share! 

I'm not liable for any weight-gain associated with these scrumptious treats. :)
