I am crazy about dessert! My husband knows how much I love dessert and bet me that I couldn’t go a month without it. I was determined to prove him wrong! The first few days were rough, but I made it through! About a week and a half into it, I came across this recipe from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. I thought I would have enough self control to make these tasty brownies without tasting any of them. I was wrong. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and devoured these babies like it was nobody’s business! It was totally worth it. They are that good!
