“What’s the point of having a book club if you don’t get to eat brownies and drink wine?”

Jami Attenberg

I started making these brownies years ago. It’s from the Bakers Unsweetened Chocolate package. They are easy to throw together and I always have these ingredients on hand. I get request for this recipe often which must mean they are tasty. I reduce the sugar to about 1 3/4 cup sugar and they are just as yummy. I dedicate this recipe to all my book group women with whom I have had the pleasure of eating many brownies and drinking many glasses of wine.
