My Mom had me make these when I was a teenager in the seventies, they are so yummy! I'm going to make them tomorrow.

These are a Christmas family tradition that my mother started 30 years ago for us! I love these decadent treats! They are especially good heated and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Very much worth the work.

I have been making these for years... They are wonderful and worth the effort. I have made them so many times, it is very easy now! I am constantly asked for the recipe. They are great for special occasions and look especially nice cut on a tray. They are rich and different, so much better than ordinary brownies... Try them once and you will be hooked....

I have been making this recipe since I first saw it in the Pillsbury Bake Off Cookbook in 1972. My husband asks for it every year for his birthday and for other special occasions. It is our all time favorite, and once you get the hang of it, very easy to prepare. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the recipe for you !
