If you’re craving chocolate, this recipe will surely satisfy. These brownies are super-fudgy and super-rich and can be whipped up and ready to bake in a matter of minutes. So, they’re the perfect quick dessert for when you’re short on time. Don't be nervous that the batter is too thick - it will bake as expected. Be sure to use regular (not Greek) yogurt in this recipe. Using Greek yogurt will make the batter too thick. Be sure to let the cool for about 15 minutes before cutting them into squares. Sprinkle with 1 tsp powdered sugar, if desired.
