Amanda's Sauce Pan Brownie

I love chewy, soft, fudgy brownies.  I never seem to find the right combination so I played around and created my own! This brownie is so decadent, sweet, very chocolatey. It's rich and wonderful! It's like fudge but so so much better!! (no sweetened condensed milk, ick!)
