German Chocolate Brownies

German Chocolate will forever remind me of my mom. Growing up she would always make it.  It has become one of my favorite cakes... I just love the taste of the frosting!  I saw this fun recipe for German Chocolate Brownies and it quickly made it up my list on things "I must try."  I am definitely more of a brownie girl that a cake girl so these were perfect for me!  Try these out!  They are SO easy and your friends and family will think you are absolutely incredible!
