After a beautifully sunny weekend in Los Angeles, I’m feeling back to full health and ready for the week ahead. What better way to celebrate being part of the human race again, than with chocolate? These brownies have a rich, complex flavor created by the combination of natural unsweetened cocoa and browned butter . Easy to make, they’re both comfort food and a gourmet treat all at the same time.
