I made these when I wanted to bake brownies, but didn't want to leave the house to get ingredients. The ingredients are all things I'm almost guaranteed to have in the pantry and fridge -- cocoa powder, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla, butter and eggs. I also used walnuts and added 2 tbsp of dark coffee. I melted the butter, sugar and cocoa mixture in the microwave. microwaving the bowl on high for 30 second increments until it reached the right consistency. Like Deb's, my brownies required 35 minutes of baking, maybe because I used a glass pan.

These were very good brownies, and required only minimally more effort than making brownies from a mix. Mine turned out slightly more densely cakey than fudgy. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find these brownies overly sweet, possibly because of the nuts and coffee. If you are looking for a quick homemade brownie fix, these really hit the spot.
