I made these brownies this weekend for my Grandma's 90th birthday party and they were a huge hit. This is my mother-in-law's recipe and they are our absolute favorite around here. Really, we don't ever make any other chocolate brownie recipe because this is the only one we want. It is really hard to eat just one...or maybe I just have no will power when it comes to these delicious brownies. Either way, they are fabulous!
