Thick Fudgy Brownies

Some occasions just call for brownies, and one such occasion is definitely Super Bowl Sunday.  While I enjoy all of the other traditional big game foods, I feel like I have to end my overeating on a sweet note.  I made these today and they fit the bill!  These brownies are nice and thick with a wonderfully crackly top.  They are delicious on their own, but would also be amazing as the base of a brownie ice cream sundae.
