German Chocolate Brownies

This week I need to bake three times for three different events at school.  I will be spending a lot of time in the kitchen!

First, for a meeting I signed up to bring brownies.  I wanted to try something new and I found this recipe for German Chocolate Brownies at Glorious Treats.

They were easy to make and easy to take to school.  I will definitely make these again.
