Triple Chocolate Brownies aka Scout’s Brownies
Everyone loves brownies, it’s the ultimate comfort food, rich, chewy, and chocolaty, it triggers all your happy spots.
I have made brownies from box mixes and from scratch, my favorite ones are those that I make using the recipe I found in a mystery novel I read. I call them Triple Chocolate Brownies, but in the book they’re called Scout’s Brownies.
I’d like to share the recipe I found in Diane Mott Davidson’s book “Dying for Chocolate”. I read this book years ago and have been making these amazing brownies since. They really are “to die for”. They’ve become a family favorite.
If possible try to use the same brands the recipe calls for.
