Ever since getting my hand run over, I haven't been cooking or baking much of anything. In fact, I was physically unable to do a myriad of everyday tasks I've grown accustomed to over the past 23years. This was frustrating for many reasons, not the least of which is I'd just bought a bunch of new dishes and was super excited to use them!
A week and a half after my accident, I rolled out of bed and decided to make brownies to take to work. It was the first recipe I'd made since my hand got smushed, and I'd actually never before made brownies from scratch.
I started with this "Fudgy Brownies" recipe from All Recipes (something I'd pinned ages ago on my pinterest). Based on reading the comments, I tweaked the recipe a bit. While the ensuing result wasn't particularly "fudgey" to me, it was incredibly delicious, and I think more of a fudge quality could easily be achieved with some added ingredients.

The powdered sugar was a tasty addition.
I think you can tell I enjoyed these brownies :) I took half the batch to a friend's and cut the rest into "brownie bites" and took them to work where they lasted about 1 minute. Recipe Success!
