David Lebovitz’s Best Brownies

Did I ever tell y’all about the time I ran away from home in an attempt to go meet Bob Dole?

You remember Bob Dole, right? He was the senator of Kansas and I think he ran for president when I was in high school. Of course, he was also in Viagra commercials, and as a high school student, that was the selling factor for me.

Viagra commercial + high school student = comedy gold

Anyway, one day my bestie just let it slip out in regular conversation that her father’s cousin was somehow related to Bob Dole. So, we hopped in the car, swung by the gas station and asked the cashier for directions to Kansas (“Um, that way, I think,” she said, gesturing towards the highway. We bought a map somewhere along the way.), and off we went.

Our parents were thrilled.

Okay, actually they called the cops and had to come pick us up somewhere in Missouri. We’re from central Illinois, so this was probably not their idea of a good time, but whatever.

I was grounded for, like, ever. I’m probably technically still grounded, to be honest. I never should have brought this up. My parents are totally going to take my phone and car away from me now.

That story has nothing to do with anything, but I was just remember how we ate Tootsie Pops for lunch on our trip (we were on a really tight budget, you guys) and thinking how that would never fly now. Mama needs food. Tootsie Pops aren’t cutting it.

I might be able to call these brownies lunch, though. In fact, I’m almost sure of it.

These were chewy and super chocolatey. My personal favorite brownies are still this recipe, but that doesn’t stop me from testing new recipes. You should do your own research, of course. It’ll make you feel all science-y and your belly will be full of chocolate gooey goodness.
