Decadent Chocolate Brownie

Ever had one of those days when you've a chocolate craving that is so strong that you can't concentrate on anything else? All that is on your mind is getting that chocolate fix. Well, I'm having one of those days. My solution? Time to make my decadent chocolate brownie!!

OK, sounds like alot of work just to get my chocolate fix right? It is actually very simple, and this brownie is so worth the wait. The chocolate-y smell while it is baking in and fresh out of the oven is simply DEVINE!! I'm in seventh heaven... :) Plus, making mine means I control how much sugar I use, and what sort of ingredients I add. Every bit adds up I reckon. This brownie recipe uses cocoa powder in addition to chocolate to impart a stronger flavour, and cocoa powder is lower in fat and sugar content than chocolate if I'm not mistaken! :)

So the next time you're having a chocolate craving, or some unexpected guests visit and you're looking for something to serve them, just whip this up! Hope you like this brownie recipe!
