I am one chocolate person. Anything with chocolate in it, I am game. That very well explains why I have never been able to stick to my diet resolutions. I control quite a bit, and then a big bar of chocolate laden with hazelnuts or almonds comes my way and my resolution goes the opposite way. 🙁 I seriously am searching for my long lost will power to lose weight. Thankfully, since mom is around with me, she’s holding me back from baking for the time being.
This is a super duper easy brownie recipe, cooked (cannot say baked!!) in the microwave. When you are craving for something sweet or if somebody is bothering you for a cake (like my brother did in this case!), this recipe is one shot to take. It takes less than 15 minutes to put together, another approximately 3 minutes to be microwaved and 10 minutes to cool, and you have a brownie in hand!
