Double Chocolate Chip Brownies

While I was home my mom had me make a batch of box mix brownies for the men's shelter that she and her Bible study cook/bake for once a month. After I had made them and the house smelled delicious and my dad asked if I could make another batch. My mom had only bought the one box of brownie mix... so from scratch it had to be! That night, when we ate our first squares we were a little on the fence about whether or not the recipe was a keeper... the next two days won us over, maybe these brownies are like pasta? Better the second (and third) day! *All photos taken with iPhone.
