Rosie 's Always Up For Some Fudge Brownies

 

It's been about... hmmmm... two minutes since I made something sweet, so I think I need to make some brownies.  I've made a lot of brownies and I don't think I ever make the same recipe twice since I'm always looking for the "ultimate" brownie.  Haven't found it yet, but I also haven't ever been disappointed in any brownie I've made.  So here's another brownie recipe for you brownie-lovers out there.  It's kinda fudgie and it's got different chocolates in it, and it's got a chocolate glaze on top.  So what's not to love?
