Today I got to sleep in. Our daugther slept over at Nanas house and I def needed to catch up on some sleep. Unfortunately I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose but I decided to still make something simple, and that can never really go wrong. This brownie is super rich and very strong chocolate flavor. A little more of a “grown up” brownie. How ever I did add some peanut butter cups chopped up cause WHO doesnt love peanutbutter cups 😍. You can add what ever you like. Chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, caramel candy, m&m’s let your imagination run free!!!!
