Made from mere cocoa powder, these brownies had perfect shiny cracked tops and fudge- melting texture.
They are my favorites so far. In stead of walnuts or pecans, I used sun flower seeds for the fillings. I followed a recipe from allrecipes.com (link below), the minor alterations were just that I cut down the amount of sugar, salt and added more cocoa powder since I prefer a deep chocolate taste. All the ingredients are very basic, all you might always have in your kitchen, I suppose.
The result was divine, I could not stop eating them. They are soft, moist, basically melt in your mouth, chocolaty and healthier than many other versions.
