This is one of my favorite recipes that I’ve made all year.

It is THAT good!

I love a rich, chocolate dessert and rarely think anything is “too sweet”.

The chocolate ganache adds an extra layer of indulgence to the brownies and I am not upset about it.

Despite a few added steps to make the chocolate ganache, this recipe is very easy to make!
