Brownies - Wicked Wednesday

Another Wicked Wednesday and another sweet treat to entice you into the kitchen.  This week I've made another classic, the chocolate brownie. These delightful, but slightly decadent treats will certainly hit the spot if you are looking for a chocolate fix.

You can easily change this into a dessert by slightly warming the brownies and serving with a good vanilla ice-cream.
