Double-Chocolate Brownies Fit For A Dad

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I've decided to make this post short and sweet because it's beautiful outside and I want to spend as much time with my family as possible today. If you haven't noticed, my go-to gift strategy for loved ones is baking something delicious, so this morning I woke up early and made a new brownie recipe. If you haven't yet gotten your dad a gift, consider whipping something up in the kitchen. Baked goods from the heart are always sure to please!
