Let’s Connect Over Chocolate
Connecting-Over-Chocolate

The love I have for chocolate runs deep, and it’s even more fulfilling when I can share it with others. I was so happy when my niece and son joined me in the kitchen to bake some irresistible chocolate treats. The experience of cooking and connecting over our mutual adoration for chocolate was truly heartwarming. We had an absolute blast! Laughter filled the room as we exchanged stories and cherished the time spent together.

We decided to whip up two boxes of store-bought brownies. We elevated them with my rich and delicious homemade chocolate frosting recipe. We wanted to share some with friends and family so we baked the brownies in individual cupcake tins. We frosted them, added a few sprinkles, and voila.

As soon as we took a bite, it felt like we had entered a realm of heavenly chocolate goodness. We know you will love them too. Let’s get cooking!

  Frosted Brownie
I made this frosting with dairy free cream and frosted brownies using the Ghirardelli Ultimate Chocolate Brownie mix. I doubled the batch and poured the mixture into individual aluminum cupcake tins. I baked them at 325 degrees F for 25 minutes. They turned out delicious and the frosting was excellent.
