Amy's Brownies

From Amy: Anyone who knows me, knows that I love all things chocolate. This recipe came from an RN that I worked with and when she would bring this into work it was a special treat. I usually ate more than my share but that was back in the day when I could eat anything and not have to worry about the weight. My how times have changed, but this recipe is still good.
