Reviews
These are amazing, and very simple to make. They are very rich, so we cut them into smaller, bite-sized squares using a pastry cutter.
These Brownies are awesome, took about 45 minutes to cook everything and they turned out amazing. I would put the white cream in the microwave for at least one minute before you put it on top of the brownies.
