I have been super stressed the past few weeks. I have taken on more responsibility, and that means less baking. Not a good equation for a girl who has just received the birthday gift of her dreams. Oh well, I guess I need a new equation.

STRESS = BROWNIES (Sounds good doesn’t it?)

I love a good brownie. A good, fudgy, chocolatey brownie. Not a cake-like brownie. A dense, gooey, rich brownie that melts in your mouth. I don’t have brownies too often, because I fear that if I did I would (gasp!) get sick of them. I know it sounds crazy. Fortunately, these brownies are so delicious and SO easy that the fear of ever losing interest in the beloved brownie vanished into thin air.

My colleagues were begging me for this recipe by the end of the day. I truly enjoyed the look of shock when I told them how easy they were to make! Enough talk, go whip some of these babies up! Perfect Sunday afternoon snack with a big glass of ice cold milk…
