Is chocolate your weakness? Maybe you need an easy and delicious desert to take to a get together with family or friends. These chocolate brownies are the definition of extra chocolaty goodness, containing both cocoa powder and chocolate chips (I prefer to use dark chocolate chips). They are then taken to the next level with the addition of a melt in your mouth praline topping.

I’ve been making chocolate brownies with praline topping for over 30 years and they are still my favorite. They bring back memories of making them for my family as a young teenager. It still surprises me how a recipe from your youth can bring back so many good memories and comfort!
