I adapted this decadent brownie recipe from the March 2009 issue of 'Family Circle' Magazine. I say 'adapted' because I made a few minor changes. *Instead of unsalted butter, I used magarine (because I didn't have any unsalted or regular butter; and margarine worked just as well), **Instead of vanilla extract, I used almond extract, because I grabbed that by mistake (and I'm really glad I did, because these brownies are really delicious!).
