    Clough:

    Prepare a few hours to make it. 1-1/4 baking, 30 min mixing and say 30 min cleaning up.

    Had to spread the rep, but Thanks! Now I know:)

    Just so you all know...

    I wanted to give you fair enough warning in order to give you time to flee!

    I'm going to make another batch, tonight! :eek:

    Different brand that also requires the larger pan.

    What are the odds you'll make cement instead of brownies?

    We'll see...

    Here's the ingredients as well as the directions!

    Let's see...

    1. Generously grease the bottom of a large caldron
    With lard from two, freshly slain, sacred jackels.
    Fill with 3 gallons of water from the magic well.
    Add a half gallon of oil of turtle.

    2. Heat contents of caldron to 600 degrees.

    3. When 600 degrees has been reached,
    Empty mix from crate into the caldron.
    Mix consists of:
    Three, whole chickens with feathers still on them.
    Two, whole turtle doves without feathers.
    Four gangrenous hands of adult humans.
    A full head of long hair from a fair maiden - head included.
    Twenty pounds of whole wheat flour.
    And, a partridge in a pear tree. With feathers.

    4. Stir continuously with large shovel, until mixture thickens and is hard to stir.

    5. Dump the contents then into a medium sized, bare metal casket, and
    Bake in oven at 1,200 degrees for five hours, or until metal pitchfork can
    Be inserted and withdrawn without anything hanging onto it.

    Makes for a delicious serving for two wizards, two witches, four warlocks, your
    Baby pet dragon and twenty illegitimate gremlin offspring!

    Oops! Sorry! :eek:

    Wrong crate, ummm... I mean box!

    That was my recipe that I like to use around Halloween time.

    A special batch of brownies for all of my relatives! :D

    Found the right box! Directions were about the same as the last batch that I made, except that the pan is bigger this time and I was supposed to use two eggs instead of one.
