Double Chocolate Brownies: National Dessert Day

Today is National Dessert Day! Of course, for me, every day is Dessert Day, especially if it's chocolate. Brownies are one of my favorite desserts, and I can never have too many Brownie Recipes. So for today's Dessert Holiday, here's a recipe for Double Chocolate Brownies. I love this recipe that's adapted from Taste of Home. The brownies are moist and chewy, and the top is crunchy. That's the way I like my brownies. What are you having for dessert today?
