These brownies are a favorite. Growing up, we did not eat anything with chocolate in it, thus it took me a very long time to be able to tolerate anything that was very chocolaty. I still am not very fond of chocolate puddings and most chocolate cake. If anything is double chocolate, consider it not for me. I am still not supremely fond of dense brownies such as these, but most who eat them love them. I tend to prefer chocolate as an enhancing flavor; chocolate and peanut butter are divine.
2 cubes softened butter
2 cups sugar
