These Macadamia Nut Brownies have to be one of my all time favorites.
My sister is an awesome baker.
The first time I tasted these was when she made them for dessert during our
catering stint. I can't begin to tell you what a huge hit they were with everyone. Especially me! I've been making them every since then.
A moist and chewy chocolate brownie studded with macadamia nuts, sits on a
brown sugar oatmeal crust, topped with creamy buttercream frosting.
I mean....what's not to love.
