Brownies/Brownie Cupcakes

This is similar to my cheesecake brownie recipe. Actually, it's exactly the same, just without the cheesecake part. You can do it two ways, making an actual pan of brownies or making them into mini cupcakes. I'm a big fan of making brownies. I used to make them a lot because my ex and his father loved to eat them.

Nothing beat the time my mother's dog jumped up and ate half of them. That was a disaster and a half. As I'm sure many of you know, it's very bad for dogs to eat chocolate. We got lucky because our dog is okay.

I don't have a picture of the brownies in a pan, but I'm sure you can imagine how they look. Square. Enjoy!
