Author Notes

Growing up, I loved the idea of brownies: fudgy, chewy, chocolaty goodness to go. But, most recipes were disappointing: too sweet, too cake-like, too dry. This recipe, adapted from a recipe found on a box of Bakers’ unsweetened chocolate squares, is perfect — no matter who makes them. —annemai
