Brownies with Chocolate Chips 

I love chocolate and I love brownies.  Growing up, I loved brownies too.  But unfortunately the only brownies available to us were the little debbie versions.  My mom wasn't a baker.  Heck, even when we wanted cookies, we just had to eat the raw dough from the fridge, LOL! But thats okay. I've now learned how to bake, and you can too!
