Birthday Brownies

It's my birthday so I'm going to share my favorite brownies with you!

One recipe of fudge brownies or one box of fudge brownies
One recipe of best ever chocolate frosting or store bought frosting
one bag of hershey's mini baking kisses (these are right next to the chocolate chips, if you cannot find them chocolate chips will do, but double them)

Prepare brownies according to recipe or box. Stir in the whole bag of kisses or chips, bake according to recipe or box for fudgey brownies.

While baking prepare frosting. When cool frost brownies! It's that simple and it's just that good too!

These brownies are incredibly rich!

I like to use the mini kisses because they are a little bigger than chocolate chips and you get these chunks of chocolate in every bite of brownie.

No Flour Fudgy Brownies

10 oz bittersweet chocolate
1 1/3 sticks unsalted butter, diced
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powdered, sifted
4 extra large eggs
1 c super fine or granulated sugar
1 c walnut or pecan pieces
powdered sugar for dusting
8" x 10" pan greased and base lined

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Break up chocolate and put it into a heat proof bowl with the butter and set it over a saucepan of steaming hot water. Melt gently, and stir frequently. When melted remove from steam and stir in cocoa, then set aside.

Put the eggs in your mixer and beat with whisk. Add sugar and whisk until light, frothy and double in volume. With a metal spoon fold in the chocolate mix, followed by nuts. Transfer mix to the prepared 8" x 10" pan and spread evenly.

Bake at 25-30 minutes or until the top is firm to the touch but the center is still soft.

Cool 10 minute then carefully cut and remove from pan, and dust with powdered sugar.

These are great served warm or at room temperature. The only down side is that you have to eat them within 4 days. They don't do well after that. Under cooking is vital to avoid having a really dry brownie with a flour less recipe like this.
