On The Menu: Lemon Brownies
I have stated on here before that brownies are my all time favorite dessert. They are dense, fudgy, moist, and decadent. There is basically nothing not to love. Replacing the milk or dark chocolate with lemon gives this treat a nice twist. The lemon in the lemon brownies is balanced by the white chocolate while the glaze is layered on thick, super lemony, and heavenly.
Ingredients for Brownies:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
