KitKat Brownies

My best friend once sent me a picture of KitKat brownies with a *heavy breathing* meme and I had the picture saved in my photo stream since then. I wanted to make the brownies for him so I had it on my 'To-bake list'.
If you like your brownies rich then these are for you. It's the chocolate gooey goodness on the bottom, KitKat bars in the middle and lastly covered with a thick chocolate ganache to keep them cozy.

I don't like my brownies cakey and this brownie recipe gives just the perfect texture-fudgy and gooey but not too cakey.

When I baked the brownies, I baked them for the first time and gave them away even before tasting. So I had my fingers crossed! But I had spared a piece to taste which I tasted after giving the rest of the brownies away.

I was in the chocolate dreamland when I took a bite of the gooey chocolate goodness! It is absolutely the BEST and EASIEST recipe!

I made theses brownies one more time afterwards, verifying that the recipe was consistent and delicious every time and this time I did not spare a piece for the tasting process, I just got good feedback.

You can customize the brownie more to your taste; you could add any other chocolate instead of KitKat or even throw in some chocolate chips. The choice is all yours!

CAUTION: The brownies are chewy, dense, and full of a rich chocolate flavor!
