You can’t go wrong with these fantastic brownies. They were a hit!
The big move happened this weekend. We are so excited to be in such a nice place of our own and stay in the area that we love! It is so much work moving. I absolutely hate it. But pregnant and moving. That is a who different story. The night before the move, my back had gone out and I had to crawl up the stairs at one point. Lucky for me I could use the pregnancy card during the big move and say that I couldn’t lift anything. But still. So much work. There is no better way to do spring cleaning then to move!
Let’s talk about these brownies though. Ok really there is no talking about them. They speak for themselves. 🙂 I really liked the brownie base in these brownies. They weren’t too fudgy and they didn’t make the frosting too rich on top of them. They were the perfect balance. The cookie dough frosting on top was AMAZING. And no raw eggs were involved in the making of it! You can’t go wrong with these fantastic brownies. They were a hit!
