Chefs chocolate brownies are soft and spongy with extra moisture towards the middle of the brownie and covered in a silky smooth chocolate sauce that will then set into a tasty frosting.

These brownies are simple to bake and extra delicious due to the chocolate sauce.

When these brownies are freshly baked and covered in the silky chocolate sauce it will be very hard not to keep going back with your fork for just one extra bite of this delectable chocolate brownie recipe.
