No-Fuss One Pot Brownies

This is a classic brownie recipe from one of the greatest American movie stars: Katharine Hepburn.

I was not sure Katharine Hepburn was Fiona's favorite movie star.

According to her book, In Me: Stories of My Life, Katharine Hepburn was chatty, stubborn, competitive and on the screen she usually played a strong-willed woman, which was like Fiona, I would say...

Katharine Hepburn's brownies are one of the very famous American classic recipes.

Fiona and her boys love chocolate, and brownies and chocolate chip cookies are a must have at their house all the times.

These brownies are very chewy, dark, and rich.

So no wonder Fiona enjoyed this recipe!!
