Chocolate Cinnamon-Walnut Brownies With Chocolate Ganache image

Plan ahead the brownies have to chill for 2 or more hours for the ganache to set properly. Prep time includes making ganache. I also added in a handful (didn't measure!) of mini chocolate chips to the batter along with the nuts, but that is optional. These brownies are wicked!

These brownies were amazing! The perfect treat for a chocolate lover. They were rich and fudgy, with a nice crispy crust. The ganache was also delicious and added a touch of elegance to the brownies.

I was disappointed with these brownies. They were dry and crumbly, and the ganache was too thick. I think I overbaked them, so I'll try again with a lower temperature and shorter baking time.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time, or maybe add some salt to balance out the sweetness.
