Cynthia's Rocky Road brownies
Why I Love This Recipe
My cousin Cynthia makes these decadent brownies that are so crazy rich. I think they are the first dessert that I could only eat half of! I didn't change much in keeping with the title of the richest dessert I have ever had, but cut back on some of the sweetness
