Brownies. The ultimate, at least in my mind, comfort food. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a brownie I didn’t like. Sure, there are brownies that aren’t amazing but I just don’t think I’ve ever said, “Wow, this brownie is awful”. How could chewy chocolate ever be bad?
This one is definitely among the best brownies I’ve ever tried. It’s very chewy and the chocolate chips mixed in are a rich surprise. I think it could use more pecans but I’m a huge fan of crunch in brownies. I think this one will become my regular recipe for days when I just need a chocolate fix.
