No matter how mopey you might be feeling, 2:15 AM on a weeknight is not the best of all possible times to decide to whip up a pan of brownies that take at least half an hour to cook.

Plus cooling time... (nibble)

Not much of it. =) Mmm, hot raspberry brownies.

Your way sounds yummy! :-)

Very yummy indeed. And only required essentially two ingredients, so it took less time than it might otherwise. Still, next time I should start earlier.

Wait, wait... you mean you can actually cook brownies at some time other than between midnight and 3:00am?

No, that just can't be right... that's like going to Denny's during daylight hours... it just feels wrong.

No, no, brownies in the early evening (preferably before dinner) are perfectly fine. It's not like going to IHOP at any time other than 2 AM. ;)

okay, it still feels wrong, but I'll take your word on it.

Is IHOP even open during the day? ;-)

/Only brownies I ever have come prepackaged in plastic.

I have no personal experience of such, but the one near our office seems to have a lot of cars parked there during the day for someplace that's closed. =)

These were pretty tasty and easy to make. "No Pudge Raspberry Fudge Brownies". (Not that I particularly like the brand name, but whatever.) They're no-fat and don't taste horrible like so many other no-fat products. Put the mix in a bowl, add 2/3 of a cup of vanilla yogurt, stir until your arm falls off, then pop them into a 350-degree oven for a bit over 30 minutes. Mmmmm.
