Chocolate Craving

Ok, so I've had this MAJOR craving for brownies for over a week now.  But, not just ANY brownies... ooey, gooey, fudgy, chocolatey brownies!  And I finally got around to making a batch yesterday.  I found an AMAZING recipe on my favorite recipe site (www.allrecipes.com!)  and made them last night at like, 8pm!  But, boy... are they yummy!!!  Not too sweet, but very chocolatey!  These would be great with a cup o' joe or even a glass of wine for dessert (oh, and they're pretty good for breakfast too!)  Here's the recipe:

Fudgy Brownies II

4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened choclate, chopped (I used cocoa powder mixed with Light Olive Oil and they turned out great!)
1/2 C butter
1 1/2 C white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract (I usually double the amount in all my baking!)
1 C all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350F.  Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square pan.  In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Remove from heat and stir in the choclate until smooth and blended.  Mix in the sugar, eggs and vanilla, then stir in the flour until just blended.  Spread evenly into the prepared pan.  Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Cool before cutting into squares.

Enjoy! :)
