Do you consider a day without chocolate an emergency? It kind of is for me - lol. I found this recipe and it was titled 'emergency brownies'. I felt like it was calling me! It's made in one bowl, not too many ingredients and my house smelled heavenly while it was baking. (I must confess, I doubled the recipe - who makes a small pan of brownies?!) The result - perfectly chocolate brownies that hit the spot. My only question with these is the dutch process cocoa - I happened to have some and I'm pretty sure regular cocoa would work - if you know the answer - please comment!
