Notes
Home Chef Tip: If you want to add a layer of melted chocolate topping (instead of mini chips), place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish, and nuke them in 30 second intervals until they're completely melted. Then, pour the chocolate over the brownies and use a spoon or spatula to spread it around.
