My newest WONDERFUL/HORRIBLE discovery!

Ok....so recently my friend Melissa emailed me a very dangerous recipe.....it was called 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake. Basically...it is chocolate cake that you can make in a mug in the microwave and prep/cook time combined is five minutes....but you obviously already picked that up from the name of the recipe. HA! Anyway.....Chip and I decided we had to try this. Seriously! So we made it twice. We ate it with ice cream. And while it wasn't bad, we felt it could be MUCH better. It was VERY "cakey" and while it wasn't dry, it also wasn't the wonderful gooiness of a warm choclate brownie under our vanilla ice cream. So I got to thinking....if there is a 5 minute microwave chocolate CAKE recipe, SURELY there HAS to be a 5 minute microwave BROWNIE recipe. And if there WASN'T one, I was bound and determined to make one! But guess what. There was! So...after some testing and tweaking, I thought I'd share this wonderful/horrible discovery with you!

WONDERFUL: I can have a brownie and ice cream sundae ANYTIME I want in less than 5 minutes.

HORRIBLE: I am going to be eating SO MANY MORE brownie sundaes that I will either A: gain 500 lbs B: have to start working out more or C: (and this is by far the worst) actually have to practice some self-control and discipline...heaven forbid!

SO here it goes:
THE THREE MINUTE MICROWAVE BROWNIE

Dry ingredients: 4 T flour
4 T sugar (I like to use 1/2 white and 1/2 brown)
2 T plain cocoa powder
a pinch of salt or a dash. whatever you'd like.
1-2 T chocolate chips (optional...I ALWAYS choose YES though!)
Wet ingrediants: 2 T water
2 T oil
a tiny bit of vanilla (optional)
Mix the dry ingredients in a mug or glass bowl. Add the water, oil, and vanilla and mix well. Put in the microwave for about a minute (if you know your microwave cooks hot I'd do 45 secs). It will look a tiny bit "wet" when you take it out.....then either wait for it to cool and eat it, or put a nice scoop of ice cream on top and ENJOY! Yumm-o!

PS. Lately I've been cutting the recipe in half so I don't feel so guilty : ) I only cook it for 45 seconds when I do half!
