Ghirardelli Award Winning Brownies

Anna | May 28, 2006

Here’s a great brownie recipe from Ghirardelli. This is on the back of their Sweet Ground Chocolate and Cocoa Powder can. Use it for brownies, or use it for hot cocoa. It has a nice and kind of delicate chocolate flavor.

After they sit around for [...]
