Two-Toned Fudge Brownies

Since my time was full with painting in the new house last week, I asked my oldest daughter to do some baking. She did a wonderful job, as always, and even volunteered to be my guest blogger!

Hi everyone! This is the Chocolate Lady’s daughter Dagmar. Since we had company last week Mom had me make quite a few desserts to keep everybody going. (Which is one of my favorite jobs!)

This is one of the treats I made with the help of my dear friend Courtney. They have a brownie base and a yummy chocolate chip cookie dough topping. The recipe is a new one and we decided that they were very delicious!

Until next time!
