One of the major reasons that I love this recipe is that it has less than 10 ingredients for me to have on hand. (because let’s face it, the more things I’m going to need, the likelihood is that I’m not going to have one of them!)

I’ve whipped these brownies up in no time at all and had them ready when the kids got home from school. Not only did it score me cool points with them but then I also got to enjoy a brownie as well! (double bonus, right?!)
