Chocolate Galore I (Brownies)

The last few weeks again were quite uneventful. We got breaks in between which are fine for me but the two boys in our class had a different schedule thus, leaving me with the two girls. Of course, by now you know one of them is the psycho b*tch so the air in the kitchen is not good. Cleaning up is no fun for me since I have to mop and sweep the floor all by myself for one week and clean everyone's dishes all by myself in another! And I bet psycho b*tch purposely use more utensils and leave the dishes extra dirty for me to clean. 

On the other hand, I am surprise by how many people actually love chocolate based products. Personally, I am not a big fan cause since young my mom told me that chocolate gives you constipation! Throughout the last couple of weeks and one week break in between, we made a huge variety of chocolate products. So, instead of putting everything in one entry, I will break them down to a few parts.

Everyone's Favourite Brownies  
Well at least everyone who ate this brownies recipes. For someone who doesn't really like chocolate based products, I really don't mind this brownies. It is very moist and flavoursome! Both brownies I made were gone quickly!
Set temperature at 180 C degrees. Laid a baking sheet on a 7" dia tin. Use a 6" tin for thicker brownies or 8" tin for a thinner one.
