Notes

When making brownies just use a large spoon and mix by hand, no hand mixer required. The batter will be very thick, so you'll want to use a rubber spatula to scrape every drop into the pan.
I made this batch of brownies with gluten free flour (King Author Baking Company), because we have a family member with a gluten sensitivity. Gluten free flour is such an easy substitution to make, and seriously I can't tell the difference.
Substitute chopped walnuts for pecans for a delicious change.
You can also substitute regular cocoa for the dark if that is what you prefer.
