So here's the very belated Valentine's Day treat for the husband. I just tweaked my Fudgy Brownie for Two (Small Batch Brownie) a bit and came up with this gorgeous skillet Chocolate Chip Raspberry Brownies. I used my birthday gift - this lovely 6-inch cast iron skillet from my friend and co-blogger - PG (of WhiffofSpice). And you see that cute little creamer - that's a gift from a family friend! I am truly 'gifted' - see what I did there! Hah.
