Woefully misnamed! I would call these Triple Chocolate Torture brownies! They are fabulous! I have also made them with a cup of sweetened coconut flakes which makes them even chewier-yum! I just made a batch and came on here to refresh my memory on the frosting! :)

I've had this recipe since 1987. It was in the Sunday paper in Atlanta. I recently lost the recipe, and was so excited to find it on this site. I highly recommend this recipe!!

The family reviewed these as the best brownies ever. I added some leftover caramel chips to it and they were amazing.

I made this recipe for the first time last night. I took half the pan to work today & they were gone before lunch time. Several people asked for the recipe. They were very easy to make. These are some of the chocolatiest brownies I have ever made. I like them way better than the Nestle chocolate chocolate chip brownies. Definetly fudgeier.
