i found this recipe in a 2007 Betty Crocker baking magazine that had fallen some where into the endless abyss that is my cabinet lol it is extremely simple a great idea for when you have to throw something together in a hurry for surprise company or for your kids. now originally the recipe called for frosting to top the brownies, but i think that is just WAY too much! i mean as sad as it is there is such a thing as too much chocolate but if you want feel free to try it for yourself.
