While Halloween or Valentine's Day is great, the day after these holidays is really where it is at. Specifically in the candy aisle. 50% off all candy? Yes, please! We did a lot of research to figure out the perfect brownie recipe and then added a ton of leftover candy to it. It is, in a word, decadent.
We didn't stop there. We also decided to cook it on the Char-Griller AKORN® Kamado Grill because it is so versatile. The chocolate smell plus charcoal...we were in heaven.
