I apologize. I completely forgot to take pictures of this when I made it last week but I think it was so good that I'm posting the recipe anyway. It is like a cake brownie with a thin hot fudge sauce mixed throughout. It's warm, chocolaty and wonderfully delicious. I was preparing it for a crowd so I actually made two, one with walnuts and one without. I also took the option to serve it with vanilla ice cream. It was all that I hoped it would be. If you like fresh brownies and hot fudge, this will certainly be a big hit. Enjoy!
