Brownies

I had some extra dark chocolate and decided to make brownies from it. i had lots, so i quadrupled this recipe. it was almost too big for the pan i baked it in. i have never made brownies from scratch so this was exciting.

p.s. since the recipe was quadrupled, i baked it for 40 minutes, which was just a bit too long. Next time i'll bake it for 36 min. and also i used whole wheat flour

MMMMM... Brownies
