Special Notes

These classic Hershey brownies are rich and fudgy. The combination of cocoa powder and chocolate chips creates intense chocolate flavor. The key is not to overbake to keep them moist and chewy. These brownies are perfect for any occasion and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For extra indulgence, you can add nuts or serve with ice cream.
