A classic double chocolate brownie recipe

Chocolate aficionados, unite! Here is a recipe for Toll House Double Chocolate Brownies which is deliciously and intentionally loaded with real chocolate morsels. It is a chocolate lover’s dream come true with chocolate, chocolate, everywhere.

Since these brownies are baked from scratch, all of the goodness of fresh ingredients, flour, eggs, and butter, adds to the richness of these treats. The special chocolaty taste comes from using real chocolate morsels twice. First, mixed in the batter, and then more morsels are added just before baking! The result is a brownie that has an extra moist rich chocolate taste from the very first bite.

And because brownies are everyone’s favorite, Toll House Double Chocolate Brownies can be used in many ways: wrapped in lunch boxes, taken on picnics, enjoyed as a snack, served as a dessert or left on the kitchen counter for someone special to enjoy.
