If the new Cookie Madness banner has you craving brownies, here’s a good recipe. It’s straight off the Food Network site where it got 5 stars, which is pretty good for a one bowl (or in this case, saucepan) recipe! Overall, the brownies are excellent with a perfect not-too-cakey, not-too-fudgy texture. But take care …
