Warm and fudgy rich and gooey. Tropical brownies.

Sometimes these trying times call for

chewy fudgy deliciousness with a touch of the tropics.
It'll cure what ails ya.
Homemade...so much better than a box.
Try 'em...You'll be hooked....
~promise~



I like to add 2 TBSP of coffee to the melted butter
It chocolatizes the chocolate like no other...


whisk up the flour cocoa and salt, dash of cinnamon and baking powder in a separate bowl
Just like sifting...but much more fun!



Marry the two together...Use a big ole wooden spoon and stir
wooden spoons love mixing brownie batter


add some chocolate chips
Have you ever tried Ghiradelli double chocolate chips??
amazing!!


...The tropical punch...macadamia nuts
see...on the bag it even mentions a taste of the tropics.
Add some coconut if you really want to feel the palms sway...



Stir until all mixed...Oh heavens to Betsy...
It is luscious at this point...
