When it comes to desserts, brownies and bars are my favorites! They’re usually made in one bowl, easy to whip up, and easily transported.

I love a classic chocolate brownie, but sometimes I like to spice things up a bit! Throw in some chocolate chips, caramel or even some Oreos to add a little variety. I even love the blondies trend. That is, brownies without chocolate. I know that sounds counter intuitive, but some of the flavor options are really delicious!

If you’re a brownie (or bar!) lover like me, you are going to love these brownies and bar recipes. The perfect desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth!
