Rocky Road Brownies

I had these at a friends bridal shower and they were PURE EVIL. I begged for the recipe and got it reluctantly as Becky swore to her uncle she would never divulge it. She said it was okay to give it to us since he lived on the West coast and we lived on the East coast.

I love these brownies and they are NOT for the faint of heart.
