has anyone ever waited long enough to properly let brownies cool & slice them?!?!?! seriously though, i envy you & the amount of will power you hold. every single time i make brownies i tell myself i won’t touch them until they are completely set & cooled.. and as you can see by my final photos, today was not that day. ok, rant OVER. these brownies are super fudgy & super chocolatey (so chocolatey that i made up the word chocolatey to describe them). i did a peanut butter swirl because the combination of chocolate & peanut butter, which i hated as a child, has really grown on me. i can’t wait to have these brownies warmed up & topped with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream this weekend. happy friday! get baking.
