try to think of these as "heart of darkness" brownies they pack a powerful punch and aren't for the weak kneed or shy of stomach. Since intense, powerful chocolate is the driving force behind these bars, be sure to use chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa content. You won't get the same "wow"power without it. Serve with a big glass of milk for dunking or topped with a big scoop of ice cream and fresh fruit.From the Fat Witch Bakery
