The KBAL Brownie Initiative

Analysis

I am perplexed by this recipe. I can't understand why it is in the book. It is about as straightforward as a brownie recipe can be. Nothing strange, different or extreme, except they have a weird name.

Of course I needed to go to the store. All the eggs got used up for breakfast and I was out of baking chocolate. The trip was relatively quick and uneventful.

I had a helper for this recipe. Emily decided that she was going to be my assistant. She got aprons out of the drawer for both of us and opened the eggs and counted out the right amount. She unwrapped the chocolate and put it in the microwave, measured the sugar and flour, and stirred the chocolate to melt it completely. These brownies almost made themselves!

There was absolutely nothing eventful that happened during this recipe. It was even proportioned for a 9x13 pan, so I didn't even have to do any math. And the cooking time was spot on. I'm still trying to figure out how these got into the book. They got a 'WTF' subcategory just because of the name. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to make them in the shape of a car or Kansas.

• Prep time: 50 minutes (I had to go to the store, but it was a quick trip despite the urchin tagging along)
• Cooking time: 30 minutes (right on time)
• Total time: 2.25 hours (includes cooling and frosting)

Modifications
