Recipe notes & preparation tips

This works well with 3 Tablespoons of oil in place of the solid fat. When using lard, ⅓ cup should be about right.

Unlike other brownie recipes which use cocoa powder and fill one small pan, this recipe uses baking chocolate and fills two small pans or one large one.
