Fudgy Brownies

I've made a few brownies in my day. In fact, when I was pregnant with my little one, I made them quite a few times. My husband just brought it to my attention though that he doesn't like cakey texture of the brownies I have always made in the past. (I should have known, he's not the biggest fan of chocolate cake either.)

Luckily for me, Food Network Magazine was all about chocolate in this month's issue (March 2012) and guess what they had as their special little insert...a whole section dedicated to all different kinds of brownies. To surprise my husband, I made a batch of their Fudgy Brownies and boy did they come out great. My husband was thoroughly happy and has said multiple times that they are "very GOOD!".

Way to go Food Network Magazine for allowing me to make make brownies that my husband loves!
