Chocolate Fudge Brownies

I finally made some time to bake, and what best to resume with after a long sabbatical, than something with Chocolate in it! It so appealed to the Chocoholic in me!! I decided to try my hand at some Chocolate Fudge Brownies. They turned out so yummy and I knew right then that this would be the first post on the site. So, here you go –

• Cut the dark chocolate into small pieces and microwave with the butter for 1-2 minutes till the mixture melts into a brown liquid.
