Chewy Brownies


My mom is always trying new recipes for brownies, and when she made this one, it instantly became my favorite. The brownies are gooey; chocolatey; sweet, but not too sweet; and chewy, but not to chewy. This weekend I decided to make these for my friend who is staying with me from Houston. Of course my husband had to sneak a few before my friend arrived! haha ☺
