Set this mixture aside and allow it to cool to room temperature. This step should take about 30 minutes.

Note: You can use whatever variety of chocolate chips you like. You could also add some pecans or walnuts if you like those in your brownies.

I like to serve these brownies with some fresh strawberries and some whipped cream on the side.

This brownie recipe is for cake like brownies, if that makes a difference to you.
