There are few things women never seem to get enough of:
dresses
love
&
brownie recipes.
Having one brownie recipe is like having one single dress. Even if it's plain perfect it just won't suit every occasion, mood and day... You need a messy, over the top brownie recipe on hand for your broken-hearted girlfriends while you also need a fancy and quick brownie recipe for a barbecue among friends.
Those are the unwritten rules of girldom.
I might be thinking this too much through, I know.
These goeey and chewy brownies only need cocoapowder {not bar chocolate, so you can spend more money on that dress} and one mixing bowl {so you can spend your time licking your spatula instead of doing dishes}.
The fancy chocolate topping pictured above is totally an open option; if you're in a rush you could use some powdered sugar instead.
Take on your fancy pants:
