Chocolate Frosted Brownies

Chocolate Frosted Brownies

Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies! Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert! Always a success when you bake from Liz’s blog! Each month we bake up a recipe from each other and keep it a secret until reveal day! Super fun! Make sure you pop over to visit Liz and see which Hugs & Cookies recipe she chose this month.

This month I went with Liz’s Chocolate frosted brownies and served them up for Mother’s Day dessert! They reminded me of brownies my Dad used to buy for me and mom from the bakery…only these were even better!

Thanks once again Liz for a fabulous dessert!
