Swiss Chocolate Brownies are a classic dessert that are guaranteed to please a crowd. The rich chocolate flavor comes from the combination of cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate squares, balanced by the addition of sour cream and vanilla.

Topped with a smooth and creamy chocolate frosting made with more unsweetened chocolate squares, butter, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk, these brownies are a decadent treat that are perfect for special occasions or a sweet indulgence.
