This is not my favorite brownie recipe, but since it uses semi-sweet chocolate instead of unsweetened, it comes in handy if you don't have the unsweetened. They are still pretty good, and very easy to make.

This recipe is like the recipe we used when I was growing up for "Congo Bars" which I think were mis-named, since congo bars should have coconut in them. They are a little thinner, and cook better for me, so I prefer this recipe. I usually make a half batch in an 8x8 pan, which works well.
