"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This is the original brownie recipe from the side of the Hershey's Cocoa box. It calls for regular cocoa, but once I discovered Dutch processed cocoa, I always used that.
Of course, you have to call them "Blackies", not "Brownies".
