Ann Kroeker's Wonderfully Fudgy Brownies



After playing with a whole lotta these lately,

transforming the little plum beauties into plum jam, plum-blackberry sauce, canned plums, plum crisp, etc., etc. . . .

I was ready for some chocolate.

A while back, I had seen these one-bowl brownies on author Ann Kroeker's entertaining blog.  Ann's instructions:  "Do not modify this recipe to try to make it healthier.  Use all the eggs.  All the sugar.  All the butter.  If you've got the chocolate chips, put 'em in."  She even promised ecstatic swooning.

I am here to tell you, after making these brownies and using all the eggs, all the sugar, all the butter, and yes, even the chocolate chips, when it comes to swooning, Ann does not lie.

Here's the link to Ann's brownies, and to her blog, and to her wonderful book Not So Fast that you should really take a look at, if you haven't already.

Here's a guest post she did right here on this very blog, featuring a nifty Belgian salad.

And while I'm linking away, here's a link to Queen of the Castle, which is chock full of homemaking inspiration that includes more than a few equally fantastic chocolate recipes.

Now back to the plums.  Because we really do have scads of them.
