Mocha Chocolate Chunk Brownies

This was the very first recipe I ever posted on Chocoholic Anonymous. As I recall, there was an online baking community I wanted to participate in, but I did not have an online presence where I could post about my participation. I quickly took steps to rectify the situation. I already had some experience with building out a web presence (something I was doing then and continue to do for my brother’s business), but I had no experience with building a food/recipe blog. I jumped in with both feet and managed to pull something together just in time to participate in the online baking community. Thus, Chocoholic Anonymous was born!
