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!!
