I love how versatile these brownies are. I've added different nuts, fruits, and even spices to them and they've always turned out great.

These brownies are a great make-ahead dessert. I often make them a day or two ahead of time and they're still just as delicious.

I'm not a big fan of nuts in brownies, but I made an exception for these. The walnuts add a nice crunch and texture.
