About the recipe
This recipe is from back of Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips bag. Some of the recipes on back of the ingredient boxes/bags are really good and Hershey's ultimate chocolate brownies is one of them.
I made half the recipe and it was way too much for just the two of us. As usual, I ended up eating most of the brownies as husband does not have a sweet tooth.
Brownies are on a sweeter side. You can add some nuts to balance of the sweetness. If you have a sweet tooth, follow the recipe as is. Even otherwise, addition of nuts gives these a different taste.
How to serve?
Serve the brownies as is or with some vanilla ice cream. I often serve it with no churn ice-cream, a 2 ingredient recipe. These brownies are great to pack as a school snack or even after school snack. Anyone would love to receive these as edible gifts.
