Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Since the mixed nuts in these brownies had less kid appeal, Grandma would alter the recipe when she made a batch for the grandkids. She used chocolate-covered peanuts in place of the mixed nuts and stirred 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter to make the brownies extra chocolaty.
