"This is a super easy dessert that is always a hit at gatherings. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and is great warm or cooled. I got this recipe from my sister-in-law because I thought it was just great! It kinda reminds me of a super big chocolate chip cookie but baked like brownies... who could resist that combination!"

3. Pour mixture into 9x13 baking dish. (Mixture will be thick).
