Baking My Way: Pillsbury Almond Fudge Brownie

I love this brownie recipe! It's a little more detailed but so worth it! I usually make a double batch and put it in the freezer!! I've done this recipe about 4 times now and didn't realize I hadn't posted about it yet! If you're wanting a super tasty, chewy rich brownie this is the one!

I give these a 5! (1 being "I'll never bake them again" and 5 being "They are now one of my favorites")
