It is sooooo tasty, HOMAHGOD. And that "feeds eight" thing is really way small of an estimate. It's so rich that you want smaller pieces (which mean there are more pieces to enjoy!!) And you're welcome!

At least you can't make it in a coffee mug, otherwise I'd be in trouble. Looks tasty.

No kidding...and y'know, I was just thinking to myself, self, you're hungry and do you know what you want? Brownie in a mug, that's what you want, self. It's what you need.
