Triple Chocolate Brownie Recipe

School holidays, eh? I start out thinking that we’ll do things the right way. We’ll eat well, do art and craft, have play dates, and have special bonding time.

And then reality hits. I’m trying to juggle working, with kids who want my attention {ALL of it} and a husband who works a lot.

So I do something like make this brownie and give two hoots about how much we eat of it. I mean look at it… it’s screaming, EAT ME.

It’s also a great recipe to use up leftover chocolate. Every time I wrote about leftover chocolate, people are always arms up in the air, dismayed asking, “WHAT IS LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE?”

We’re one of those weird families who can have junk laying around and not care too much about it. The kids didn’t eat their Easter eggs, and they are great thrown in this brownie, and then all the mini chocolate bars put on top. I’ve used this recipe and changed it up ever so slightly.
