Double chocolate brownies suggestions
When you’re making the icing, use a double boiler so that you don’t burn the butter or cocoa. You can get creative with your brownies too. Add chocolate chips to turn them into triple chocolate brownies. Make thin layers with Marie Biscuits for old school brownies or add nuts on top for a bit of crunch. Get creative and enjoy your brownies with a cup of tea or coffee and get even as a midnight snack.
