Now that I have made these, we prefer them over chocolate chip cookies. (Never thought I would say that about anything! What's better than chocolate chip cookies?!?) These bars are rich, dense, and chocolate-buttery. The browned butter gives the dough a richness that lends a slight toffee flavor. Ooey gooey chocolate goodness straight ahead!
