Hershey's Best Brownie

I am always in search of a new and delicious brownie. I don't know how I have never tried this classic recipe but I haven't. This brownie turned out great. I didn't have a square pan so I just used a round one and cut it into pie shape and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Mmm that was good, the only thing it was missing was ice cream. I might be running to the store :)..........
