This weekend I was craving for chocolate so I decided to bring these classic brownies to my kitchen counter. Some premium quality chocolate, very little flour and walnuts and you have got a yourself a treat. I feel that it is the only dessert that can satisfy a serious chocoholic like me. I have been making brownies since I was a little girl. With very few ingredients it hardly took me 15 minutes to put these beauties together. Just whisk, pour and bake, you can never go wrong with them. So next time, when you have some friends coming over make sure you bring these fudgy brown treats to the table and you will feel like a star, they are always such a huge hit and well received. Rather I would say why to wait for company you can bake one of these to treat yourself ( I have … Several times … It feels so good).
