Cocoa Brownies
Nothing is more comforting than fresh from the oven brownies. I use to make them only from a box mix, and tried many different recipes before adapting this one to my taste. This recipe is adapted from Alton Brown cocoa brownies. If you do not prefer nuts in your brownies, they can easily be omitted. I love freshly roasted nuts in brownies, especially walnuts. These brownies are very moist and rich. If you are looking for a super rich and moist brownie recipe, this is the one to keep handy. For a variation, you can also drizzle caramel on top before baking, frost them with cream cheese icing after they cool, or simply dust them with powdered sugar after baking.
