Everyone loves Brownies! Especially Frosted Brownies! This is the perfect post for Valentine’s Day. Make these for your significant other…they will love you forever!
Anyone can make these! All you need is a big bowl, big spoon, and an oven. Mix the ingredients, pour into pan and bake! And these are better than any box mix could ever be!
I added walnuts and espresso powder from the original recipe. I used King Arthur Flour Espresso Powder as I always do, and King Arthur Flour Bensdorp Dutch-Process Cocoa for this recipe. Both can be purchased in my store.
Top with deep, dark rich, creamy chocolate frosting, and you’re in sugar overload heaven!
Make these brownies for your sweetie, and you’ll have the best Valentine’s Day ever!
