Sponsored Content The Chocolatiest Brownies I’ve Ever Made What do you make for a chocolate lover upon his return from a 3.5-week- work trip to a country with very limited amounts of chocolate? Why, the chocolatiest brownies you could fathom, of course! Ordinarily I would contest the amount of chocolate my boyfriend would ideally like in his brownies but this time I knew I had to go all out. He was chocolate-deprived and who was I to deny him? The recipe starts with margarine. Now, add your chocolate. Once that mixture of chocolate and margarine melt out, remove from the heat and add your sugar. The amount of sugar does seem like a lot but what are brownies without sugar? Now it’s time for the eggs. And last but not least, add that precious flour, the final ingredient that transforms this chocolate egg mixture to brownie batter. Wait! Finally, scrape your batter into a 13×9-inch pan and top with more chocolate chunks! And voila! D: “The brownies were good.” The Chocolatiest Brownies I’ve Ever Made Inspired by this Chocolate Brownies recipe

It wasn’t until I watched Dave Lieberman creating his version of a breakfast enchilada casserole that I remembered Tortilla Pie.
