I made this for a coworkers birthday. It seemed to go over pretty well. It did seem wonderfully sinful to have those layers. I think I would have liked the brownie layer a little thicker and moist. I got a little mixed up about when to add the vanilla in the brownies ( I just assumed it was with the wet ingredients.) Also I could tell that there was supposed to be melted butter added at some point in the brownies, but I wasn't sure where. I ended up melting the chocolate with a tablespoon of butter. Thanks for sharing a rich and tasty treat for my office.
