Author's Notes: For when you need to whip up a quick batch of something warm, chocolatey and super-satisfying. Fold in chopped nuts, if you like, or butterscotch chips in place of the chocolate chips. If you want to gild the lily (and of course you do) whip up the fudge icing to top your fresh brownies with.
