Super thick, chocolatey brownies

I had a major sweet tooth earlier this week. Now, anyone who knows me even a little will understand how weird that sounds, because 99% of the time I only crave savory things. So when I say major sweet tooth, I mean major! 

In order to satisfy this craving, I decided to head over to trusty Pinterest for some inspiration. I found this wonderful recipe courtesy of Sweet As A Cookie. When it comes to recipes and homemade cooking, I have the uncanny ability to mess it up in one way or another. So far, I have had only successes with this happening....hopefully I didn't just jinx myself! 

 This time around, I got everything right, except when it came time to add the flour. I added 4 CUPS of flour instead of the intended 1 1/2 cups!!!! As a result, this already labeled "thick" brownie recipe became ultra thick! Once I noticed my mistake, I added a little milk to balance the thickness I created. They were still by all means delicious, and even better served with a cold glass of milk and some ice cream!

Yum! I promise there is a brownie under all that goodness!

 I will include the original recipe from Sweet As A Cookie so everyone can try out the intended way this recipe should be made. Or for those who like things their own way, make them with the 4 cups of flour I used! Let me know what you all think of both recipes!
