Fudge Brownies

I found this recipe from the Better homes and gardens book. Unlike other fudge brownie recipes that uses cocoa powder, this one uses chocolate bars.

I also switched some ingredients. For example, I used semi-sweet chocolates in order to use less sugar.

You can put your own spin on it by adding nuts and cream cheese frosting if you like.
