A namesake of mine (also) loves to bake. Her passion once sent her on a quest to find the best brownie recipe. She dug deep into a treasure trove of recipes, and unearthed this jewel. She shared it with me, and decided shortly thereafter that, in the interest of attaining world peace, this must be shared with everyone.

A fair warning though, in the wake of this chocolate explosive charge: no other chocolate cake will ever again move you the way it did before.

Brownies (chocolate TNT) | Snap a Bite

Forget the elves and their Lembas bread, with these glucose grenades you too can fill your energy meter with a mere bite and nibble.

I can’t believe how many I made. You can freeze these for long term storage, thank my lucky stars. So I locked a good deal of the batch away for future use, thus saving myself and my boyfriend from chocolate OD’ing.

Oooow Squelia, that's too bad... Here, have a brownie!
But seriously though, try this recipe. It was the first time I tried it and it turned out great. You'll do fine too, I'm sure :) I'm rooting for you here!

For whatever reason I've never considered freezing brownies. That's a GREAT way to exercise portion control! These look delicious too.
