For those of you who don’t know me, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sarah, and I am obsessed with brownies. If it were up to me, Broma Bakery would be a brownie baking blog. All brownies, all the time. Brownies are the perfect dessert. Everyone loves chocolate. Everyone. And what’s better than a fudgy brownie? The only thing I can think of is a brownie plus something else. Like cheesecake. Or peanut butter.

So this post is basically my life’s work. Your favorite brownie connoisseurs (ie: me), have rounded up my all time favorite brownie recipes so that you never find yourself in a brownie rut. While a classic brownie always hits home in my opinion, sometimes it’s fun to switch it up with a different brownie recipe. And I have tons of them for you.
