Dangerously Easy Brownies

I'm calling this recipe "dangerously easy" because it's the perfect treat to make with items you probably already have on hand... which means that after a bad day or when you're craving something chocolatey, you can have these ready in less than 45 minutes. Easy and delicious... but if you're anything like me, having sweets like this so easily on hand might be a bit dangerous! Anyway, I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and have made it a staple since it's so uncomplicated. You don't even need to use an electric mixer - a simple whisk will work fine. Also, I didn't have enough sugar the second time I made these and found that a mix of sugar, brown sugar and stevia was equally tasty so feel free to mix and match with whatever you have in the cupboard. Finally, this recipe fits an 8 x 8 square pan.
