Easy Fudgy Brownies

I love a basic brownie recipe.One that can be whipped up after dinner to help fill that "something sweet" craving. This recipe is as easy as they come. I dirtied two bowls while making these and I even used my neglected hand mixer. These brownies are best enjoyed with a cold glass of milk.
