mmmm....chocolate

 If I am craving chocolate(..."if," who am I kidding?! More like "when"...and the answer to that would be every day), it is usually in the form of a fudgy, gooey brownies. I love dense, fudge-like brownies, the kind that stick to your fingers and require much licking. Hmmm. Those kind. You can't get that kind from a box mix, you gotta make it from scratch. I've compiled this recipe from several different ones I found online. I've manipulated it a little over time, playing around with the amounts and what I've settled on makes a pretty darn good brownie.

I lick that bowl, thank you very much.

**There are no "after" shots, because after they came out of the oven I ate them all. Well, no I didn't eat them all. Just most of them, then had to cover them up and put them away, out of sight or I would have eaten them all.
