At the risk of sounding cliché….this girl LOVES chocolate. I am at my happiest when I have a bowl of something sweet, especially if that something sweet involves ice cream of any kind. When we traveled through Europe last summer, I made it my personal goal to have at least one ice cream cone per day (quite an easy goal to accomplish, I might add).

I especially love having dessert after a meal. It’s the perfect way to keep people at the table, to ensure that conversation lingers long until all that’s left on the table are crumbs, sticky plates, and almost-empty wine glasses.
I love baking sweet treats and trying new recipes, but this twist on a boxed brownie mix is one of my favorites. A pan of these babies has yet to last more than 24 hours in our house, and seems to be one of my husband’s favorite breakfast snacks. When I’m having people over last minute or don’t want to take the time to bake a dessert that requires more time, I almost always throw these in the oven. They take less than 5 minutes to prepare and comes out gooey and delicious (especially if you are a chronic under-baker like me).
