I begged my co-worker for the recipe for her brownies and she surprised me by telling me they were box brownies! Here's the secret: 1 box Ghirardelli brownie mix, 3 Symphony chocolate bars. Put 1/2 of the brownie mix in 8x8 pan, lay the chocolate bars across and then top with the remaining half of the brownie batter. Bake according to the directions. Best brownies ever!
