I have been making this dip for years and feel it's time to share it. It is one of my go to dips when I need to bring a dish to a gathering or when I'm hosting a party myself. This brownie batter dip is very simple to put together and loaded with sweet chocolate flavor. It can be served with pretzels (which is my favorite because of the sweet and salty combo), with graham crackers, or with apples and strawberries. Regardless of what you dip in it, the bowl will be licked clean. Enjoy!

- pretzels

- Place into a serving bowl and refrigerate until 30 minutes before ready to serve.
