Chopped up and screwed up!

So my babycakes birthday is coming up soon so I decided to cook him up one of his favorite desserts Brownies :-)

Any way I decided to follow a recipe I saw on another website the ingredients called for:  
12 tablespoons Kerrygold Salted Butter

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

2/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla, orange, or peppermint extract, optional

3 large eggs
1 cup flour
A heaping 1/2 cup chocolate chunks, optional
So I didnt have any granulated sugar or cocoa powder or salted butter or vanilla, orange, or peppermint extract LOL. So I TOTALLY just winged it lol
I used brown sugar, 2 packs of swiss miss hot cocoa powder (with marshmallows lol) and almond extract and I think I used too much sweet cream butter :-/


I followed this recipe and melted the butter and mixed in the sugar THE PROBLEM WAS my moms cup measure's words and numbers have rubbed off so all I saw was 8 oz and I thought 8 oz was half a cup so I accidently added a extra cup of sugar I didnt need OOPS
also I filled up a soup cup with chocolate chips and melted it and mixed it in
I later measured and realized the unmelted chocolate made 2 and a half cups but melted it was like 1 and 1/4 cups of melted chocolate and finally I added 1 cup of flour and 3 eggs

My NEW PROBLEM was that my mom didnt have any round muffin pans and I was using cupcakes papers ( i have no idea what you call the papers you put cupcakes in lol) so i had to use a square pan lol
And my brownies came out looking like I stomped on them lol

But they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good and hopefully my husband isnt reading this right now because they are suppose to be a surprise but I swear its soooooo  yummy its not even a dang brownie it crunchie and chewy and not brownie like AT ALL... but it has soooo much sugar its messing me up and im sooo glad I sent babycakes 12 of them and I only kept 6 because these things taste like they have crack in them... YOU WILL BE HOOKED lol we only have one left for my mom EVERYONE in the house loves my screw-up brownies my son loves it and so do I.. check out our faces lol
my sons milk mouth

the diet killer
Im going to have to fast again tomorrow (by the way its SUPER easy as long as you graze on nuts and drink a glass of milk :) )
 Ok im going to do some zumba to help myself burn some of this chocolate evil off lol maybe after today i can get my stuff together smh
