#HappyBirthdayContest - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Brownies

This is my entry for the #HappyBirthdayContest created by @vegan.niinja.

I make variations of this recipe depending on what I have available in the pantry . This is a super chocolate recipe which I thought would be a great side line at a birthday party. Hope you enjoy.
