Cheyenne's Fudgy Dutch Cocoa Brownies & Fudge Icing
This is a recipe that my 13 year old daughter came up with after trying different recipes over the past month...We all deemed it a "Keeper" in our house and will keep making brownies this way from now on! So simple, and I didn't even have to go to the store to buy any more ingredients! Looks cake-like, but tastes so fudgy and chewy...Really good brownies! P.S. My baby, Cheyenne, took all of the pictures herself while I was at work!!! AWWWW! :)
