One-Spoon Cocoa Brownies

Ingredients

Danna Standridge began making her One-Spoon Cocoa Brownies years ago as a way to reduce stress for herself and fellow high school teachers. ” If a fellow teacher had a bad day, or if I was feeling a bit of stress, these brownies were quickly mixed up and thrown in the oven. My brownies have saved the day many a time for me… family and friends.” Learn more of the story behind Danna’s brownies here.
