I needed a "bribe" to give to our neighbors so they would help us move a large piece of furniture. I needed simple ingredients that I had on hand, so I made these. Surprisingly, they were a huge hit! (plus they moved our furniture without any help from us)-a big success all the way around! They ended up being moist and rich, and now they are one of my most popular recipes to make. So many people ask for the recipe now, and I put it on my blog for them to find: http://www.paulatodora.com/brownies-with-a-swirl/ And now they can find it on our beloved JAP site!
