These aren't quite the same quality as your traditional oven-baked brownies, but they aren't too bad either! They tasted a little overcooked when I microwaved them for 5 minutes, so anyone trying this recipe in the future might want to check the brownies after 3-4 minutes.<br/><br/>This recipe was really fast and easy to make. It is a great recipe if you need a dessert fast (last minute potluck, unexpected guests...), or if you simply don't want to use your oven (such as during the hottest days of summer). Thank you!<br/><br/>Tagged for Bargain Basement Tag Game - December 2010.
