Brownie Pie with Rich Fudge Sauce

I had some friends over the other day and made this awesome brownie pie with fudge sauce.

The whole house smelled wonderful...warm chocolate...you can't get a better smell than that!

The brownie tasted great just as is, rich and fudgy. And of course even better with the fudge sauce. We also tried it with some warm caramel and peanuts besides...wow!

Then we tried apples dipped into the fudge sauce, the warm caramel and then rolled in peanuts.

 Oh my!

 It was a good food day!
