Waffle Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Remember these divine treats? Well this is the same idea, but simplified. 

Simplified. That is my new personal theme. I'm trying to simplify and stream-line my life. Prioritize and dump unnecessary things off my to-do this.

So, this is perfect. As much as I LOVE those German Chocolate variety, these are simple. And MUCH quicker than regular brownies. You'll be eating these in minutes.

They'll also be GONE in minutes. They're that good. 

Enjoy!
