Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

My husband loves brownies and I like to find new ways to make them. When I saw this recipe on Martha Stewart I thought he would like them. Her recipe called for making home made brownies. I already had a box of brownie mix so I decided to use that instead.

Also, she used chocolate chunks and I decided to use dark chocolate chips.

They turned out great and hubby loved them. He took some into work and they were a hit.

Although you have to mix up two separate batters with these brownies, using a box brownie mix, that saves time. Of course you can make homemade brownies if you want. 

These brownies will not disappoint.
