BROWNIES

Cocoa Brownies - These are great brownies to make when you have no baking chocolate on hand. They are rich, dense, and best of all, fudgy! For an extra special treat use Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa along with a handful of peanut butter chips or chocolate chips. It should also be noted that these usually take 10 minutes longer to bake, but always start with the minimum time and watch them from there.

Cocoa Brownies pt. 2
- These brownies are similar to the ones above, but use a 13x9 pan so you get more brownies. Additionally, the butter is melted separately and then all ingredients are stirred together, so no stove-top usage required.

Cookie Topped Brownies
- These are not entirely quick to prepare. Essentially, you are making cookies and brownies and then baking them together. I omitted the oats, cinnamon, and lemon juice from the cookie dough portion and they still came out great. They can be a little difficult to judge in terms of done-ness.

Mascarpone Brownies - Quite possibly the richest, most decadent brownies ever. This recipe requires baking chocolate, whipping cream, and mascarpone so a trip to the grocery store may be necessary. These brownies take at least 45 minutes to bake. There is also a thick ganache layer on top of the brownies and it needs to set before serving. In all, it takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to make these.
