So, this recipe you guys.

It’s my nemesis. I mean, the recipe itself is legit. I have no problems with it. It’s the photography of said recipe that is my issue.

I have made these brownies four different times and photographed them every time with dismal results.

Do you know how frustrating that is? I mean, yes, we get extra batches of brownies, but I want to spend my time coming up with a new recipe, not making the same freakin’ brownies over and over again only to get frustrated with the photographs I take of them!

If that’s not a first world problem, I don’t know what is. I basically just complained because I had to eat too many brownies. Never thought I’d see the day when too many brownies was a problem!

My kids sure didn’t complain about my failures though. Marshmallows are up there as one of their all time top favorite foods, so adding mallows to these deeply chocolate brownies and then topping it all with an easy chocolate frosting? Heaven. They’ll probably be insisting I make them some more of these tomorrow. And who am I to resist? They really are delicious!

This brownie recipe is my go to recipe. The flavor is intensely chocolate from the addition of a little espresso powder. If you don’t have any, you can leave it out, but it really does help amp up that chocolate flavor. And I promise there is no coffee taste at all! Purchase some from Amazon!

The texture of these always comes out perfect for us, too. Immensely fudgy and a bit chewy. There is nothing cakey about these brownies and that’s exactly the way I like it!

You’ll notice that my brownies are nearly black. This is because I use Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder. I love the flavor it adds and the deep dark color just makes me happy. I love it when my brownies look extra super chocolatey! Purchase that cocoa powder here.
