I am so excited to show you these pictures. These brownies were outrageous. I found them on a blog that was new to me and you must visit. It is called Mama Gourmand! Many creative and wonderful recipes for you! You can start these with any 9×13 brownies recipe you love (or a box mix for those short on time) but I followed Mama Gourmand’s “stop looking” brownies. She named them that way because you can now stop looking for the perfect brownie recipe. Super Cute name!
