If you received Ad Hoc at Home for Christmas and are wondering what to make first, may I suggest the chocolate brownies? They are easy to make but sinfully delicious. Yes, they call for three sticks of butter, but it is still the holidays! The best touch is chopping a high-quality dark chocolate bar into “chips” to scatter through the batter. When you eat a brownie, it’s like tiny chocolate explosions in your mouth.
The brownies taste best the day they are made or the next day, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Invite your friends over, as these brownies do not keep.
Recipe rating for Brownies from Ad Hoc at Home: A+

Well, of course they get an A+. 3 sticks of butter indeed.
Chocolate takes a lot of fat and oil to make. Without it, you can only make chocolate or coco flavor, but not real chocolate taste. Even strong dark chocolate diluted in a recipe will just spread the flavor without adding the fats like from real butter to make it taste like real chocolate.
So that’s why all the butter is required. Good to know. The results were delicious, very rich and chocolatey.
