My friend Liz (From That Skinny Chick Can Bake) and I have this awesome monthly feature called Two Sweetie Pies. Each month, we choose a recipe from the other’s blog and feature it. We do not tell each other which recipe we are working on until reveal day which is always so exciting!
We all know Liz is the quintessential brownie queen and I was excited to find a new brownie on her blog that I had somehow missed. Can you say German Chocolate Brownies? Mmmmm, the coconut lovers are going to hug you for this one!!!!
