We can all agree that brownies are pretty amazing. No other batch of chocolatey goodness will comfort you and your bad test grade, or you and your hangover, better than this delight. In time for this weekend, we have a recipe for some wonderful brownies, and the best part: You can make them in the microwave. Nothing says “college life” more than that.

_Directions:_

1) Melt the butter and grease your pan. Mix all the ingredients except the frosting and fluff into a bowl. Pour into the pan.

2) Stick it into the microwave and watch as your dreams come true. Microwave for six to seven minutes. Time may vary depending on wattage, though. If you’re vintage (or cheap) and don’t have a turntable, make sure to rotate the pan every two minutes.

3) The brownies should be spongy and bounce back when done. While they’re cooling, melt the fluff and the icing in the microwave for about 30 seconds each.

4) Spread the fluff over the brownies. Then, put dollops of the chocolate icing on top, with space in between. Use the toothpick to gently spread the chocolate icing, making designs and being artsy and what-not.

5) Put on a classy bow tie, you classy motherfucker, and enjoy.
