I love that these brownies are made with cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips. It gives them a more intense chocolate flavor.

These brownies are a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips. I always have a bag of chocolate chips in my pantry and these brownies are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these brownies were surprisingly good. The chocolate flavor wasn't too overpowering and the brownies were moist and fudgy.

This brownie recipe is a keeper! The texture was fudgy and moist, and the chocolate flavor was rich and decadent. I added a cup of chopped walnuts for extra crunch, and it was a great addition. I'll definitely be making this again!
