Fudgy Dark Chocolate Holiday Brownies

Fudgy Dark Chocolate Holiday Brownies Brownies are one of my all time favorite desserts. Especially if they are warm out of the oven and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I'm salivating just thinking about it! These Dark Chocolate Holiday Brownies are the perfect treat for any of your gatherings throughout winter. Make them for a party ahead of time, or save the decorating as a party activity (the kids would love topping the brownies with melted chocolate and sprinkles).
