The inspiration.

These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are my February mood. Floral and sweet, truly unique. I received a bottle of rose water as a Christmas gift, and have been dreaming of a way to bake it with some chocolate. I've yet to publish a chocolate recipe on the blog, and what better way to introduce a recipe than this one that I adore. Milk chocolate + rose is celebration of the month of February, offering sweet escapism. And unique flavors that are sensory joy with each bite.
