Double Decadent Brownie Torte

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"Fudgy rich, with a shiny chocolate glaze, this brownie torte will satisfy chocoholics! Originally from a recipe card promotion I received years ago. The torte can be frozen, unglazed, by placing it unwrapped in the freezer. When frozen through, wrap airtight. Unwrap before thawing, then glaze."

This is the most amazing recipe ever! My mom has the same recipe card and we make it at least once a year, if you freeze it for a day or so before serving it gets even fudgier. We cut it in little squares so there is more to enjoy
