Begin 30 minutes before serving.
Brownies are a dense bar cookie that cooks well in the microwave.
If you make them in the nontraditional round cake dish you won't need to shield any ocrners. The wedges are then often nice topped with ice cream and hot fudge sauce for dessert. Frost, if desired. In a large microwaveproof mixing bowl combine the chocolate and the butter. Continue to cook for 30-second intervals, or until melted, stirring each time.
