Homemade Chocolate Brownies – Super Moist

I was craving chocolate last night and didn’t feel like heading out to the store since I always have the baking essentials in my cupboards I decided that I would bake something delicious. I decided to make homemade chocolate brownies.

My preference for desserts is making them at home. I had never made brownies, other than from a box. It couldn’t be that much different than a chocolate cake, right? Well, it was just as easy and less work.
