If you saw my collection of cookbooks and cooking magazines you might say I have a huge problem. I just can’t help it. I am a sucker for a good cookbook and/or cooking magazine. You should see my collection of old issues of Taste of Home Magazine, it’s quite hilarious. This recipe happens to come from one of those old issues, we’re talking 1998 here folks.
It’s been a really long time since I made these and I’m not sure what made me even think of them the other day but something did so I made. I forget how ridiculously good these things are.
Fudgey brownies slathered in browned butter frosting, these are divine, sinful and worth every single calorie! By the way, I’ve decided that browned butter frosting could even make chopped liver taste good.
