Katharine Hepburn Brownies

This recipe I found from Joy of Baking’s … I am a big fan of Stephanie’s recipes collections.

These brownies are named after the famous and gorgeous Katherine Hepburn because a journalist got the recipe directly from her.

They are delicious while the top crust is dry and cracked. Underneath are sweet, moist and chewy with a nice chocolate flavour.
