Honey Chocolate Brownies: National Honey Month

September is National Honey Month. I'm a huge fan of HONEY, as you know from reading this BLOG.

This Honey Chocolate Brownies recipe won the 2000 Huron County Fair Blue Ribbon. I've adapted it slightly. Just as different cocoa will change the taste of these brownies, so will the honey. Try these brownies with different honey and chocolate combinations. I buy local honey from my favorite beekeepers.
