In my opinion, it's always a good idea to have a basic brownie recipe in your arsenal. Brownies are easy to throw together, and you probably have the majority of your ingredients hanging out in your fridge/pantry already. Anyone who likes chocolate will like these brownies. They bake up in half an hour, and are easily transported to any bake sale, kid-related event, pot luck, party, picnic, or wherever else you want to go with them. They also stay reasonably fresh for a few days (but I doubt they'll stick around that long.)
<br />This particular recipe yields brownies that are fudgy and deeply chocolaty, but not overly dense. They're also not overly sweet, which lets the chocolate flavor shine through and makes them a good candidate for adaptation once you've mastered the basics. They're just rich enough, which really just means you can get more out of one recipe because you can cut smaller squares. One thing to remember: the higher quality your chocolate, the tastier your brownies will be.
