Hello Chocolate

Growing up, my favorite thing to bake once I started cooking was brownies. At home with my mom, typically we used the brownie recipe on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa container. With my Granny, it the blue and white bag mix of Martha White brownies.

After coming across Inside a Black Apple's extremely easy recipe for brownies.. I knew I'd found a keeper. It's simple, pure, and no fuss. One pot, one baking pan, and half an hour later, there's gooey chocolate goodness.

5. Line baking dish with parchment, pour in batter, and pop in oven.
