I tried this tonight and it was great. Used milk, not water, and cooked it in a microwave safe ceramic bowl instead of tupperware. Extremely moist and the outside edges were a little underdone, but since no eggs were used, it was safe to eat the gooey, uncooked edges. I topped it with some semi-sweet chocolate chips and some caramel topping. It took longer for it to cool down enough to eat than it did to cook. :) <br/>I think this would go excellently with ice cream... next time. I put the leftover brownie mix in a zipped plastic bag for later use.
