Nobody can turn down the temptation of chocolate. Nobody.
Recipe #24: brownies (the soft version)

Out of all chocolate desserts, brownies are the favorites of many people. I have a friend who will not normally eat any desserts but will definitely enjoy our brownies. Thus, my motherwill make a batch of brownies for her when we visit her house.

For people who are not so well acquainted, such as at a party, class or other social event, brownies are a great icebreaker - people immediately take them and start chatting as if they're buddies.

Brownies can be soft and moisturized, or they can be crispy. No matter what type, they're both delicious, and because of this my mother has been many people's favorite lady because of her awesome brownies.
