Notes

You can use dark brown sugar too. It will give the brownies an extra molasses flavor.
Feel free to stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite mix-ins: such as walnuts or chocolate chips to make this brownie recipe even better. Chunks of chocolate, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and even butterscotch chips would be mighty tasty.
