recipe: homemade brownies

i love to bake! & i love brownies!! but for some reason, i have never made homemade brownies before... it has always seemed easier to just buy a mix from the store... but when i found this brownie recipe, i knew that i had to give it a try... they seemed so easy to make, not too mention they looked like the perfect brownie...
