Brownies!
I absolutely love brownies! I grew up eating them. They’re a staple in any baker’s recipe book. But these brownies, straight from the actual Chef Shamy’s cookbook, are something special. I can’t say enough about them– they’re moist without feeling soggy, they’re rich without being overdramatic, and they’re sure to please any chocolate lover. After all, they are triple fudge! That’s right– 3 types of chocolate: cocoa, chips, and pieces!

Made From Scratch Brownies
We’ve all had brownies from a box. That’s the preferred method these days, it seems. Especially when you can buy the mixes in bulk– and from a box brownie mix can be pretty good! But let’s face it: homemade is always superior. Made from scratch is the way to go– and these brownies are pretty easy to make, so it’s worth the 15 minutes to whip them up. And sorry, these will ruin your taste buds; you’ll never want brownies from a box again!
More Ways to Enjoy
If I may, a couple of suggestions to make this recipe even better:
Try throwing some pecans or dried cherries in the mix. Not everyone likes nuts in their brownies, but I don’t think a few pecans to break through the chocolate would hurt anyone. As for the cherries, can you imagine the lovely burst of flavor and acidity in the occasional fruity bite? Yummy.
