Slutty Brownies

When I saw a recipe for "Slutty Brownies," I immediately though of my best friend.  Don't worry!  It was not because she's an immoral lady.  She's completely the opposite.  

You see, we have strange senses of humor, and words like "floozy" and "trollop" have always made us giggle.  Cindi and I were planning to have a girls day and do some baking, and we both agreed that these brownies would be perfect.  Perfect, they were.
