After an arduous search for a dessert to bring to a V-Day dinner party, I was thrilled to stumble upon the gorgeousness and gorgeosity that is reader Amanda's Heart of Darkness brownies. (The treats were adapted from Jill O'Connors Sticky Chewy Messy Gooey).
Amanda details the recipe on her site, but heed my warning: there's tons of chocolate and butter involved (and M&Ms for that great blood red color). But oh, so worth it. Amazingly, the original recipe called for Snickers bars, marshmallows, and a caramel sauce on top. Either that, or we could just invite Ms.O'Connor to our house and have her inject the calories directly into our upper thighs. The latter is probably easier...
But I digress. Valentine's Day is not a time to be worrying about calories. It's a time to be indulging. Specifically, indulging yourself with Amanda's freakishly good brownies.
